![]() ![]() There’s a few reasons for this but the main reason is that this ink was built with Hahnemuhle Photo Rag v1 formulation (aka, HPR changed significantly over the years and this effected how the paper base white and ink interacts). Right off the bat I noticed some optical “green/yellow” and the ink has been consistent ever since (12 years and counting now) and also our top seller. I transitioned from a dual quad split (selenium and warm neutral) in my lab in Chicago to neutral K7. I’ve actually introduced that kind of neutral (a much more subtle version) into the Pro inkset (of course you can then also choose which neutral you want with that set) because I’ve always personally leaned towards the more polar white end of the neutral spectrum instead of the classic silver yellow/green base-tone end. Epson and Canon “neutral” is just incredibly blue and magenta. This color is more stable perceptually in a “classic silver sense” than leaning towards the magenta/blue end. It’s true that “neutral” is really what I like to refer to as a “European Neutral” the paper base of FORTE. ![]() I have since done another two initial fills with the inks after agitating the cartridges just to make sure there’s no settling. When I set up the printer I did an initial fill with Piezoflush and let it sit for 48 hours, and then filled with the K7 inks and did an initial fill. I get the same sort of results on all matte papers that I have tried. I scanned each patch in i1Profiler to check I’m not going crazy, these are the results. I printed it on Ilford Cotton Artist Textured, a warm paper with no OBAs. I have attached a photo of it, it’s just a snap from my phone sorry. I have printed the 10 ink purge image from QTR in calibration mode with ink calibration on 100, 2880 dpi and unidirectional, I cropped it to save paper. This is happening on different papers, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, Hahnemuhle German Etching, Canson Rag Photographique, Ilford Textured Cotton Rag and Ilford Cotton Artist Textured are what I have tried. I am using ErgoSoft V15 to run the printer and create our own setups for each paper.īasically my issue is that prints are too yellow in the lighter tones, slightly blue in the darker tones but then a nice neutral black. ![]() The black channel in the printer is permanently clogged so I have loaded the new Ultra HD Matte black in the orange slot and the new High Density Photo Black into green, I have Piezoflush in the MK and PK cartridges. I have recently converted our 9900 to run a set of K7 neutral inks, both matte and gloss. ![]()
