RE: [Digital BW] STS- C6 ink set

2014-11-26 by Elliot Puritz

Thanks Kelly.  I will take a look at the links.

 

I too use different papers when different tones are needed.

 

The statement concerning C6 and EB6 interests me….might you tell us why you favor the EB6 approach?  Have you done some objective testing or do you simply prefer the print tones and details from one set to another?  

 

I will indeed contribute to Paul's informative site.  There is no escaping the conclusion that without Paul's hard work and continuing efforts ( not to mention his willingness to share information freely and without cost ) the state of black and white digital printing would not be at the high level that it is today.

I used Cone's ink in the 1400 about a year ago when I was given several a partial sets about a year or so ago. I was impressed, but way beyond what I wanted to pay. However I have been using MIS  inks in various fems for a long time.(2007, epson 1280-C220 C86) I really got started with Clayton Jones approach using different papers to achieve different tones and no profiles.

Paul Roark"s C6 -EB6 approach has or is in my opinion the potential to surpass cone"s approach.  Cone is very propietry and he has every right to be. I have no problem with that.  I use his Cone color pro in my 3880. Hmm  Cone's color inks - STS icolor inks.They seem to make many of the same claims, For the most part true} 

I take great pleasure in the "journey"

 Please be sure to contribute on Paul's website. We would not be where we are today without him.

I have not a clue what STS  stands for, just company name

Below is a link to Clayton Jones.
