Additional ALPS availability information here Updated on 09/16/2010 Click here for a little, subjective history on ALPS retail printers updated 14 Aug 2009 NOTES: Our 497096 ALPS White Ink - ALPS MD-INK MDC-SCWH Special Color White Some are having problems with the current white ink. These work well with the MD-5500, but not so well with some older MD-Series printers. While the white cartridges are supposed to be the same, there have been difficulties. The problem appears to be the head temperature. Over time the head temperatures can drop and this can affect some inks. Since ALPS Japan is only selling and supporting the MD-5500 at this time, they are not aware that there is a problem. Their formulation may have changed slightly for this newer printer. Updated 17 Feb 2010: To print with the Japanese White - Change the bar code sticker to the Silver Foil or Gold Foil bar code. Then select the foil cartridge in the driver. This uses a slightly higher temperature to print and seems to solve the problem. If your second pass seems a little thin - change the saturation level in the driver to +30 to get a little more density.
