Digital BW, The Print

What types of papers do you want to print on?

I am using a K4+ approach that currently uses a 100%-30%-9%-6% Eboni-Base ratio. 
In other words,

K = 100% carbon
M = 30% carbon
C = 9% carbon
Y = 6% carbon

After recent conversation with Paul, I will be changing this to:

K = 100% carbon
M = 18% carbon
C = 6% carbon
Y = 2% carbon

Because I do occassionally print on glossy and more than anything want 
more control of the Lab a & b curves, 


LM = 30% M
LC = 30% C

If you want to print exclusively on glossy, then you will have prolems using the 
K4 arbon approach and will need to look at using C & M inks more than Eboni 
carbon or use a print over spray to prevent the carbon from rubbing off the 
paper.

I hope this helps.

Phil

Subject: [Digital BW] Carbon-6 for eight-color-printer (R2880)

  
Hello to everyone!

I have searched the posts for about two hours, but now my head ist in total 
confusion.

My question:

what are the specific/explicit dilutions for a carbon-6 mixing for an 
eight-color printer like the R2880? I would appreciate a detailed listing for 
each color related to volume.

Thank you all so far!

Gerd
