So I'm printing on some pretty thick, soft, textured paper.
I am also printing with two tube inks mixed together. (Bond Black, and Blue)
the 18pt font looks fine.
But the 12 point font has really low resolution! a's keep getting filled in,
and the letters in general are really thick.
I've tried messing around with the bedding, but that doesn't yield
consistent results. It will be good for a while, and then bad, then good?
no, back to bad. etc.
Is it overinking? Possible. But when there isn't enough ink, the text is too
light! You can't hardly see it.
I don't know what's going on!! if someone on this list has tips in the next
few minutes, please send it on over! Should I mix the ink with something?
I might try cleaning off the paten and re-inking.
