Re: Suggested Monochrome Inkset for Epson 2200?

2006-11-13 by john dean

This is the inkset I would suggest also for that printer. A group of
us met in NY and had a number of prints pinned up from the same file.
Those of us who had used the K6/K7 set had remarkably similar output
in regard to the greyscale ramp and resolution qualities, regardless
of what rip or what printers we were using. I really couldn't tell
what printers people were using. The little printers with K7 did as
well as the 9600s with Studio Print in my opinion, so did the 7000s.

The K7 inks would also be a really good choice for cfs set ups because
of their clog free nature. They are finely ground and well suspended
in the base. 

And, as he said the other great advantage with a small printer is that
you can pull them out and put Ultrachrome in right behind them for
another job, then go right back to K7 without even having to flush
your printer. That is certainly unique and they were really smart to
offer this adaptability. All you would have to do is print out a purge
grey scale and you've got a totally different inkset to work with.
This would also allow you to put in the k7 sepia set or a split tone
set if you should desire for a particular job.

I agree with Walker. There is always going to be need for a dedicated
mono inkset for some of us. Lets hope we will alway have it. This
inkset was set up for QTR so controlling output with the create icc
capabiliy is also a big plus. I love these inks.
