Re: [Digital BW] Re: The right BW ink for epson 7500 matte & glossy papers

Dear Paul,

thank you very much for your answers.
Reading all your suggestions and experiences I like to ask you few more as I
highly value your experience.

Which inks / paper combination would you recommend for large format prints
on 7500 if you would like to create the most stable fine art print with deep
black?

Not preferring glossy or matte prints, just from global point of view?
Something which has the less compromises and possibility to make the best
b&w print.

I would like to set up this printer to provide the most stable and lightfast
results.
It has been while, I think, when discussion of maximal black density for
dominant on this forum.

I do a lot of profiling with QTR and I am full comfortable with it. As I
have rather different set of papers here in Europe than most people on this
list from US have I needed to do that anyway.
