Hi David;
I have an HP Z3200.
It uses 12 HP Vivera cartridges and when it does its internal calibration,
it waits about 1 minute to dry before measuring on just about an type of
paper. I can't see any "dry down" on anything I've printed on.
Waiting 12 or an incredible 24 hours is worst than silver halide dry down!
Obviously the machine can't wait 24 hrs to calibrate...
I've owned a slew of Epsons, my world filled with clogging problems for
years.
I'm happy as can.... be since moving to HP.
This is not a paid commercial.
-LOL

Subject: An academic question: "Dry Down Time" for UltraChrome HDR inks
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
