Digital BW, The Print

Roy, I printed on Semigloss with the UT1 inkset - before I could finish the
ink bottles my 1160 broke down, as I reported here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/message/45240

... there is an issue with the neutral tones and semigloss on the 1290. On
matte both printers give equal and excellent results, on semigloss the "no
curves/ sliders" approach and the neutral curves are inferior to the 1160
results. But again: It may still be an issue related to the 1280 curves not
perfectly working with the 1290.

But I must say again that I was extremely happy with the 1160 results - they
were very close to perfect. If I dont get the 1290 working at that level I
might switch back to another 1160 (which is still regulary sold in Germany,
and rather cheap). Only disadvantage on the 1160 is the non- availability of
borderless printing, but I actually never need this really...

Regards Bernie

Bernie,

Did you do semigloss on the 1160?   What ink?  I'd be surprised
that the 1290 couldn't do as well.  (surprises happen though :)
