Re: [Digital BW] Re: Warm carbon, questions for Paul

>>> You need to make a decision as to Eboni v. PK-based. If you want the
warmest, go with the PK. If you are aiming at a sepia look, even though you
think you want matte, once you see an MIS PK, LK, LLK print on Museo Silver Rag,
you'll probably change your mind.

My apologies, but I am really VERY confused here.

You said: "if you want the warmest, go with PK". Then in the next paragraph
you say: "if you want the warmest matte, try  K=Eboni MK, C & M = MIS K4 PK,
LM & LC = MIS K4 LK, and Y = MIS K4 LLK." So I don't know which to use; PK
or Eboni. I don't know which to use.

I want the warmest possible prints I can get on matte paper. I do not ever
print on glossy. If using glossy inks will get me a warmer print on matte
paper than using matte inks, I would rather use the glossy formulated inks.

Also, you are giving me ink names I cannot find anywhere on MIS's web site.
I do not see inks named  MIS K4 PK or MIS K4 LK, etc. on the only page MIS
tells me they have Carbon inks: http://www.inksupply.com/eb6.cfm

Am I looking in the wrong place?

>> But what I call "Carbon-6

I also can't find this ink on their web site. Do you have a URL?

Thanks again for your patience.
