Digital BW, The Print

Hmm, I was writing about combination Eboni with HP PK (which probably was the ink that Paul refered as glossy only). HP PK in my experience gives less DMax than Eboni on matte papers. I didn't mean to compare it to the HP MK -- I never used it.

Epson is 1.66, same with most of the others including Canon Lucia MK. And these inks have outstanding longevity. HP is kind of a strange giant corporation but I don't think they get enough credit for the really fine quality these inks can exhibit with black and white on matte rag media.

HP ink will print on matte, but it will not give your DMax that Eboni will give. From the other side it is more neutral than Eboni. Search this forum for various combinations of HP/Eboni inks solutions with C6 base.
