Variable Tone Inks - Update

2001-08-15 by Michael J. Kravit

I promised Antonis that I would provide the group with an update on 
the development of the Variable Ink Curves for the 7000.

After a marathin session with Paul Roark, the Neutral Curve looks 
really good (my opinion, hope Paul agrees). The Warm Curve is at mid-
stage and needs a bit of work. 

At first I though that the neutral curve was just "so cold" it was 
blue. I guess after printing with Piezo for the past year everything 
looks cold to me. But, I just finished printing an image with the 
last iteration of the curve and I must say that I am truly impressed.

Lovely continuous tones, smooth textures, and no sign of dots.

I am using the new MIS CFS for the 7000 with 500ml bottles attached. 
The inks are on the MIS website and if I calculated right cost 
$.08/ml as opposed to $0.68/ml for Piezo Inks. 

The curves for the Variable-Tone Inks for the 7000 are progressing 
very nicely. Paul is very talented and should be thanked for taking 
hours upon hours to develop this system as an open system for all to 
enjoy and use.

Thanks Paul

Mike
