Digital BW, The Print

Tomek,

The UT2 inkset doesn't require any special printer performance.  However, if
your printer bands with OEM inks, it may well also band with UT2. 

I generally print at 1440 dpi.  You might see if leaving High Speed
un-checked makes for better prints.  I find 2880 so slow, I'd hate to have
to use that for everything.

You might consider buying just a test cartridge of UT2 before investing in a
CFS.  Frankly, with the sponge-less, easy-refill carts likely to be released
this month, I would go that route instead of the more expensive and less
flexible continuous flow system.

Good luck.

Subject: [Digital BW] Is my Epson 1280 fit for CIS?



Hello,
A month ago I bought a used Epson 1280 in good shape. Now I want to 
install CIS UT-2 to it. Please help me diagnose if the printer is fit 
for it. What should I check? I did head allignment, all nozzles work, 
on high glossy paper I get good banding-free prints. The only problem 
I noticed is that with Epson Archival Matte (European Enhanced)I'm 
getting visible banding. What settings in Epson's driver should I use 
for this paper?

The amount of information in this group is enormous, I'm lost in all 
the things I should check and learn before making b&w prints. I hope 
somebody will be so nice to anser these apparently repeatedly asked 
questions. My previous question about what accessories and spare part 
to order from Inksupply together with UT-2 system was barely noticed.

I hope the day when I see my b&w prints made on the Epson finally 
comes!

Regards

Tomek
