CONTINUOUS FLOW SYSTEMS FOR THE C82
If you are a frequent printer or doing some production work, then we recommend you purchase a MIS Continuous Flow System
for your C82 printer. This will save you a tremendous amount of money. The cost to operate a CFS is at least 10
times less than using cartridges. If you only print occasionally, then do not get a CFS. If left idle for 3 or 4 days
at a time, CFS units can start to develop problems. Our AUTOPRINT program
(see CFS Page- halfway down) can be used to prevent problems from occuring,
provided the printer and its computer remain powered.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTIONS
Making Prints with MIS EZ B&W Ultratone Inks on an Epson C82
This is EASY. Photoshop is not required. Great B&W prints can be made with any software that can print an image.
There are many to choose from, Paint Shop Pro is our favorite. The inks are
not variable tone inks. The Neutral inks are for making neutral prints and the Warm inks are for making
warm prints.

C82 Settings
Start with the best image you can get. It can either be a color image or a grayscale image, it does not matter. Use the
Epson printer advanced properties to make these settings...
- Print Media = Enhanced Matte Paper
- Print Quality = Best Photo
- High Speed = Off
- Sliders = zero to start with
- Color Management = Automatic for glossy paper (see print dialog)
- Color Management = ICM No Color Adjustment for Matte papers (see print dialog)
Read Paul Roark's notes he sent us when these inks were
first blended.

Going Beyond Perfect -
Try experimenting with different paper settings to see the effect. Also try moving the sliders for
making minor adjustments. If the C, M, Y sliders are all moved the same amount right or left, the effect is to
vary the amount of ink that is delivered to the paper.
If you use the ICM, no color adjustment settings, the prints will come out darker.
Be sure to let the print dry before judging the color or tones. If you need a good step wedge
to work with, you can download the one we use.
There is an excellent forum called
Digital B&W, The Print. The forum discusses all digital technologies related to
making monochrome prints from digital sources, including the MIS ink sets and
workflows. If you are using MIS inks or plan on using them, this is a great place to
find additional information and to contact current users.

Information about the Inks
If you are using matte paper, then put in an Eboni black cartridge (EZ-T0321-K). If you are using glossy or
semigloss paper, put in a Photo black cartridge (EZ-T0321-PK). The 3 inks in the color cartridge do not have
to change, they will work on matte or glossy papers. If you use MIS Universal black (MK), be aware that the
of MK is not considered as archival.
The Ultratone inks are all extremely archival. Our tests indicate that they will far exceed 100 Wilhelm equivalent years.
Take a look at the fade resistance data.
Do not mix these inks with other Non Ultratone inks. For refilling or Continuous Flow Systems, you must start with
virgin empty cartridges. Provided this condition is met, no flushing or purging of the printer is needed. One or
two cleaning cycles will remove any color or non Ultratone ink from inside the print head. These inks will not
clog or damage your printer if you follow this advice.
