Re: [Digital BW] How to print on extremely thin Japanese silk paper with pigment inks

2013-07-22 by David Whistance

If you are using a regular inkjet, either desktop or large format, you need to attach your thin paper to some thicker carrier paper to allow it to register and then to pass through the printer. You will need to experiment using tapes and temporary mounting sprays to see what works best with your particular combination of printing paper and carrier. For this kind of printing you will also need to use a RIP as the printer driver will deliver more ink than the paper can hold.  When I have printed on these kinds of paper I have used the MIS Eboni 6 inks but the Cone Carbon ones should also work. Good luck, I have made some good images this way but also made a mess on many occasions.
