Ink and RIP questions now that I caved and bought an Epson

(1/5) > >>

IntegrityShirts:
Picked up a used Epson 4000 only on its second set of ink carts so it's in tip top shape.

What inks do you guys run in these beasts?  I know some of you just print with the epson color carts and get the films dark enough...what settings are you using in the driver dialogue to get the darkest print?  Paper type? etc?

For those with all black systems, what ink do you prefer?  Did you buy actual black ink carts and put them in the color slots or did you buy bulk ink and refill the color carts and "reset" the chips?

And finally RIP.  What I'd like to do is be able to print from illustrator, straight to films with only choosing line angle and lpi.  Is that possible witch all RIPS? TIA

Sbrem:
AccuRIP will do what you want, plus allow you to fill all cartridges with black ink. You can get empty carts and ink from inksupply.com, very reasonable, it's what we use.

Thanks, I'll download the trial and see how it goes.

Inksupply.com has good pricing on bulk ink, do you just buy the black dye based ink?  I found a set of refillable 270ml carts on ebay for $135 with a chip resetter, not sure if they need to be fancy or just hold ink without leaking.

dsh:
"Ditto" for Accurip.
