Your observations and deductions are correct... the
2000p/5500/7500/9500 inks
are not suited to fine art and serious photography work to the the
uncontrollable color shifting with different light sources.
When the inks are empty is there anything to stop me from refilling
them
with inks from 1270/80/90 and reprofiling?
You paid a higher price for a slower machine with lower photo quality
than if
you had simply bought a 1280. But yes, you can use those inks in it.
The
problem is that the 2000p is a "chipped" cartridge machine. Without the
special computer chip on the back of the cart, it can't be used in the
2000p.
Once empty, it can't be used again. This is for your protection and
convenience. If you don't find it protective and convenient there are
various
third party carts and bulk ink systems that circumvent this in varying
ways,
but there are fewer for the 2000p than for the 1280, for the speed,
quality,
and price reasons noted above.
Does anyone know what artificial light source displays as good as
daylight
for these inks (my 5000K lightbooth sure doesn9t)?
Actually these inks tend to "balance" down around 3000k... but whether
they
look good in a given light depends on how they are profiled and
adjusted. I'd
suggest admitting defeat and moving up to the new 2200 which is vastly
improved in all these areas
I agree that the balance point is quite warm. They suck in daylight,
but put them in 3200K lights and they look great.
