Re: [Digital BW] carbon prints on an epson 3800

2013-03-25 by Leslie

Thanks Pete,

I've looked at Paul's great website and I would like to use his guidelines for saving ink costs by diluting my own inks for the 8 positions on the 3800, but I can't find a recipe for dilution for an 8 ink machine. I've also found Jon Cone's inksets and they look fine, except they are quite expensive to use over the long term on a retirement pension.
