4772.0. "Inkmun Color Kit for HP Deskjet printers " by EEMELI::LINDEN () Tue May 28 1991 09:11

Has anyone tried out, the Inkmun Color Kit for Deskjet printers????

If I understand it correctly, with this you could print color pictures with
b/w inkjet printer, but does anyone know how good/bad this is???

Reqards,

4772.2"Don't get too excited..."TOOK::DROBINSONTue May 28 1991 13:1324
    I asked about this in the usenet comp.sys.amiga.graphics group.

    The consensus was "Don't get too excited...". Basically, you get colored
    ink that you refill empty black cartridges with. You can then do
    multiple passes changing ink each time. This means getting the paper
    re-registrered for each color pass and trying to figure out which
    color you want to print below or above which other color.
                                                            
    -Not a paintjet substitute with 300dpi.

    If you just want to create pages that use an extra color or two
    for emphasis or added zing, and precise registration is not an issue,
    this can work. DEC's manuals often put command examples in
    red ink. You could probably do this kind of thing. You may have
    serious difficulties trying to get four color separations out of
    a desktop publishing program.

    Disclaimer:
    I've never seen or used the product & the people on usenet
    are not always trustworthy. However, at least one reply
    came from a Hewlett Packard Employee.
