RE: [Digital BW] Re: switch MIS K Eboni with Piezography Shade 1 ?

David, I made a quick blog posts with some screen shots of measurements between the two different ink sets on two different papers, and will starting a new thread about this to talk about how the STS inks will change this too...

here's a link to the post:

Comparing Cone Piezography Shade 1 and MIS Ebony Shade 1



About the measurements with the ink limits set: I recently (in the last two weeks) started setting the ink limits for each shade differently than I have in the past, and the measurements for the Cone inks were made before that change. I used to set the ink limit for each shade to the point before the curve started to level off or diminish resolution by excessive dot gain. I am now setting the limits so the are evenly distributed from paper white to overall D-max—hat might be 30-60% depending on the shade and the paper. That being said, the graphs still show the differences between the shades 1 and 2 of the two different inksets, and how the shape of the curve differs between the two as well.
