Is MIS Full Spectrum Neutral For Me?

2003-09-26 by dwells8

My old Epson 1160 has finally died. I'm going to be deciding on 
another printer and I think I'm going to try a different inkset too. 

I use my printer almost exclusively for proofing before going into 
the conventional darkroom. I also use it for small run promo 
mailings. 

I used to use the original MIS quadtones. They were fine for 
proofing but much too warm for the promo mailings in that the 
images didn't match my darkroom prints in tone. 

Then I tried the MIS Variable Tone inks. The tone matched my 
darkroom prints well enough but the workflow was needlessly 
tedious for unimportant proofs. 

Now that I'll be starting over with a new printer, I thought I'd give 
the MIS Full Spectrum Neutral Tone inks a try. Based on my 
stated useage, will the FSNT inks meet my needs?

Thanks,

Scott
