Digital BW, The Print

I have always been under the impression that it was the pigment inks that were prone to meteramism. Some papers were worse than others and Epson did produce several versions of their 2000P driver to try and combat the problem.

I did not think the carbon inksets were prone to meteramism, or not as badly as the pigment colour inks.

Which leads me to ask, What sort of black and white printing were you planning on doing? Were you thinking about the quadtone black and it variants or were you going to adopt the colour inks and mixing down to grey approach.

MIS have the UT7 inkset that is quite versatile. Paul Roark has a writeup on its use on his website. A couple of plusses for that inkset are that you can use the Epson printer driver, and you can purchase cartriges prefilled with the UT7 inks.

Cheers
Greg Nixon.
