An academic question: "Dry Down Time" Looking at Epson's own charts regarding the Epson Stylus Pro 9900, UltraChrome HDR ink Technology, shows various times, from 5 minutes clear up to 144 hours, (6) days.
Okay. So, how does the enclosed .icc profiling product, inside a 9900 wait for 'dry down time'? And for how long?
I use my own i1Pro Version D, and i1 Profiler, to profile my targets after 24 (1day) hours, for my Epson 9900.
What do other professional printers do?
Previously I was printing on the Pro 9600 with matte black ink. And the times I used with the older printer were 24 to 48 hours. Usually, 24 hours.
The substrates I currently use are Moab's Anasazi Canvas, Moab's Entrada Rag Bright, and some Epson "Signature Worthy paper rolls. I create all my own .icc profiles. Never use canned profiles.
Some advertising for this 9900 infers quick drying time. The ads infer there is a dry inside. I don't know what to believe. I think (please correct me when I am wrong) the ads are just attempting to push the merchandise out the door.
However, with the hundreds of users on the list, I know I can get beneficial answers.
Cheers
