I just got my Niagara system installed on my 1280. I got the Gen. 5 inks. They prints seem to have more grain to them that the Epson cartridges. I am printing on Epson Luster and semi gloss paper. The colors are more washed out than with the Epson Inks also. I have ran all the printer tests, alignments, etc. Does anyone know if this is this something "normal" with the Niagara system. Any help would be appreciated. Cindy - Turn off HTML mail features. Keep quoted material short. Use accurate subject lines. http://www.leben.com/lists for list instructions.
