Custom inkset based on HP Vivera PK
2013-02-05 by reallybelgium
Hello, I am a classic dark room printer, taking his first steps in digital printing. I read a lot of information in the last 2 months. I bought an Epson R3000 printer. I read about Piezo, MIS and other custom inksets. I want a high qualty colourless pigment inkset for (semi-)glossy printing. A professional printer in Holland gave me the advice to mix my own inksets. (Transport issues, special taxes, price issues when importing, ...) His advice: mix HP Vivera PK with a medium. (HP Vivera black PK Cartridge, 130 ml mixed with: http://www.octopus-office.de/en/shop/details/c/printer-ink-epson-t0540-t0549/p/ocp-optimizer-for-canon-bc-60-colourless/) I guess this medium is the same as a 'base', as described in Paul Roark's manuals?! So I want to use this custom inkset, combined with QTR for maximized control (I found a similar approach in Paul Roarke's doc about HP-C6). Now I have this information, but I don't know the mixing quantities, and I don't know how much I need for each cartridge in this 9-cartridge printer. Can someone help me with making up a table/list with an overview of each cartridge and the mixing quantities in these cartridges? (I know that I have some work to do afterwards with profiling for QTR). Is the proposed medium (optimiser) a good product? (See previous link) Thank you very much! Ben Albu Belgium
