Piezography MPS Selenium K6 is a six dilution ink set for smoothest possible tone reproduction with this model printer. Although this is the new MPS system from Piezography, gloss optimizer is not a solution on six ink printers. Use this ink as you would Neutral or Sepia inks, including split-toning! The inks are designed to be used with QuadTone RIP software ($50 shareware) which can be downloaded free from the Piezography website by clicking here. The author of QuadTone RIP offers support for the registration fee, and he has produced a range of paper profiles which are included free with your download. This is a more limited range than the profiles created by Vermont PhotoInkjet. However, we do offer a custom profile service for this printer. The system for both Mac and Windows is easy to operate by printing a grayscale image and choosing the correct paper profile from the drop down menu of QTR. Advanced users can learn to create their own profiles with QTR's built-in tools. However, the profiles which Vermont PhotoInkjet have created are made on their proprietary monochromatic ink profiling system. Custom profiles from this system are available.

Flushing cartridges are strongly recommended.
