Re:1160 and Quadtones



<x-flowed>
Sean:

I may get reprimanded, but I think the 1160 would be a great
machine for quads OR archival color.  I have it and the 1200
and the differences are very subtle.  Also, it will use the
same 3rd party cartridges as the 1520, so no waiting for
availability.  Caveat - one would most certainly want some
sort of profiling software to use with it.

Happy New Year,

Bob,
	Thanks for the feedback.  I'm able to profile printers with Monaco Color 
and an Expression 800 so that should be no problem.  Color prints on my 
1200 are better than on my 900, but only slightly.  My instinct is that 
four inks and a small droplet are all that's needed for quadtones.  My 900 
would be a great candidate for this but for pragmatic reasons I can't 
devote it to quadtones.  The tonality I'm getting with the MIS quad inks on 
the 800 is wonderful but the highlights definitely show the dot pattern of 
a 12 pico head.  That 1160 is looking very good right now.  Has anyone out 
there made quadtones on it?
