Digital BW, The Print

I put the Noritsu dyes in an Epson WF 30 printer to see how  they'd work.  I used the "EZ" approach used on the WF 1100 -- LK density inks in all the midtone positions.  The little printer does a reasonably good job when ICCs are used to help control and in loads, etc.  I might see if the WF 1100 does as well.  I suspect the WF 40, with its smaller drop size would do better.

A native Claria printer makes the most sense for the best photos with the Noritsu-Epson dyes, but for the cheapest 13" printer and very fast text printing, the WorkForce printers are a nice  option.  

The WF 30 may become my B&W card & brochure  printer.  I'd originally intended this printer for  my daughter at college, but the CIS failed to work.  Epson is making these printers very CIS-unfriendly.  The dyes were targeted at the college student, in part, on my assumption that they would be rather clog free.

By the way, page 4 of http://www.ink.epson.com.au/pdf/Claria_photographic_Ink_overview_1_0.pdf has a good explanation of the Claria technology.

Paul,

Have you tried to drive/control the WF1100 printer with QTR?

I'm at the gallery now.  I'll try that when I get home.  I saw your note in the QTR forum.

I've  made a couple cross-over curves for the 1100 and Eboni-4.  
See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/1100-Eb4.pdf
The first curves set works great for  the one paper, but the second one with more mild cross-overs may be almost generic for Eb4 -- meaning good enough to bring  most papers  within what QTR Create ICC-RGB can linearize.  

QTR would be nice, however.  Making the PS cross-overs is tricky, and the WorkForce ink limits are not very appropriate.  So, for the most part, without QTR, I've been seeing the 1100 as primarily an "EZ" platform where all the "color" positions are the same.  This can work rather well, particularly if an ICC is used that starts the inks sequentially.  However, if QTR works, the platform could  really bloom.  That fast text printing is really nice for a general small office printer.  The 1100 is my default printer.

Thank you, Paul.

Duplex printing is covered with QTR?

The B500DN and B300 (both A4) have roughly the same specs on droplet 
size but come with an internal CIS: a wide format cart system. More 
expensive machines but the carts will hold 10X the ink the W 30 carts have.

The explanation about the Claria inks is still in line with the idea 
that the inks is halfway pigment and dye ink.
