Digital BW, The Print

I have used Mis Eboni and Jon Cone Carbon and Selenium ink sets in Epson printers. I found them both to make excellent quality black and white prints with beautiful tones. I have standardized on the Cone inks due to the consistent quality of the product, the excellent service I have received from Jon and his team and wide variety of black and white products offered. Cone does have sample prints available if you are interested in the tones available.

Best Wishes,

Thanks Kelly.

 

For curiosity, have you tried the Jon Cone Carbon ink set in the 1400/1430?  Jon's inks have the reputation as being very reliably formulated and consistent from batch to batch ( as I believe were the version of Eboni 6 inks sold by MIS ).  Please note that I am NOT acting as an agent for Jon's inks which I have NOT compared with the MIS Ebony v.1!  Nevertheless, I plan to try the Cone set and compare my subjective impressions of prints made with the MIS Eboni inks vs. those made with Jon's inks. 

 

However, I am curious as to whether or not objective comparisons have been done using the two inks sets.  A talented colleague of mine has suggested that he might be willing to compare the two sets using objective standards and targets and of course a spectrophotometer.  I imagine that he might also use various QTR profiles with each ink set in order to compare " out of the box " solutions for those desiring to use QTR with either of the Carbon sets. Such information would surely be welcomed by many.
