RE: [Digital BW] Brown Tone Ink Set Needed

2011-06-29 by David Whistance

I've not tried them but American Inkjet Systems sell a Burnt Sienna ink in
their bulk sets for Roland 12 ink printers which might be a good starting
point.  Give them a call and see if they can help out.

QTR. I can get what I want visually from both HP and Epson OEM ink sets. But
it is not consistent and I know it can be done better and with smoother
tones with Quadtone inks.
I have used mostly the HP inks and they just decide to careen off the road
for no particular reason once in a while. I'll have a nice brown print with
a strip through it 2 points more toward green. Besides, better inks for less
money is a strong draw.
