[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm interested in doing high quality B&W on my Epson 870. I currently have a color adjustment layer that I can apply to monochrome RGB images that gives me very good results using the Epson OEM inks and either PGPP or Premium Lustre paper. To take things to the next level, I've ordered a couple of MIS Full Spectrum Quadtone cartridges. I saw John Brownlow's comment that the MIS workflow is a PITA, and that he's committed to Piezography. I understand that the MIS inks can be used with the Cone plug-in, and this is what I'd ultimately like to try. Can anyone suggest what I should buy to get the bits I need to experiment? I want to stick with cartridges for now - b&w is still a low runner for me, and I don't want to spring for a CIS yet. There's no starter kit specific to the 870 listed on the Piezography site (they don't have any chipped carts) - can I buy any of the kits and just use the plugin? Is the plugin the same for all printers? Is it useful (or even possible) to buy the software only? And what about profiles? Given that the inks are different, how could I deal with the profile differences? Any info is appreciated. Paul - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
