Digital BW, The Print

I thought it would be an interesting exercise to see what a neutral Piezo
print would look like.  You can see the results in the Files section of this
forum.  It's found at:
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/files/

Go the "Message Related Files" and see "Fs-N1-Pzo."

The neutral-tone image was printed with the Piezo driver and the FS-N1
inkset described below.  The comparison Piezo image is standard Piezo ink,
with the Piezo driver.  Both are on EAM.

The FS-N1 inkset mix is as follows:

1.	Mix a dark blue toner: 1 part cyan pigs to 1 part magenta pigs.

2.	Mix a base cyan: 28% VM or Piezo black, the remainder MIS clear base.

3.	Mix the toner and cyan base as follows: 1 toner to 5 cyan base.  This is
the cyan ink for the cartridge and for further mixing, below.

4.	Magenta position: 15% #3 cyan, above, the remainder MIS clear base.

5.	Yellow position:  (I missed the mark on this one.  I'll try 1 part #4
magenta to 1 part clear base next time.  I'll report the ratio/results
soon.)

Time from idea to print: 1 hour.  Of course, this is just a first effort.
I'll take one more shot at it, and then it's up to the users to perfect the
mixing, to the extent any more is needed.

All materials are on the MIS website.

MIS is not involved in this.  Whether they would pre-mix this is probably a
question of whether there are enough people who want it.

Frankly, I still think that the MIS VM approach is better, but for those who
love the Piezo driver and want neutral ink, here it is.

Enjoy.
