printer conversion
« on: February 27, 2013, 11:46:36 AM »
I am looking to make my Epson 1400 into an all black but currently run Power-rip to produce positives. What can I do to make the change over?

Wy change it to all black? If you talk to the creator of Film Maker RIP he will tell you the advantage to all black is very little if any. And you will waste expensive black ink every time the printer does a head clean. Best way is one black and all the rest clear solution which is cheap.

I'll second this adn suggest adding a CISS.
