Re: [Digital BW] MIS Associates Inks Drying Problem

2010-08-24 by Sylvain

I'm using Eboni inks on a 1400 (Eb1400 inkset). i've tried them on a glossy paper, and they do not keep on the paper unless I put some Lumijet. So I agree with Michael: you might have Eboni ink on your kit that you should not use while printing on glossy.
