Re: [Digital BW] Re: Fade test -- Eboni v. 1.1 & blue toner

2015-04-24 by paulmwhiting@...

Excellent reply, Paul, complete and detailed. Although I'd gotten used to the warmish black of diluted Eboni, it brought back fond memories of Agfa MCC 111. But I'd welcome a cooler option, it adds to the repertoire.

Won't the blue lessen the archival qualities of a strictly diluted Eboni approach? Probably not enough to sneeze at. And I'm sure you've considered that issue,

BTW, I'm well stocked on PA 205, in case you need some sheets for apples and apples let me know. Seems to be in short supply, you may be out. So is Mark now accepting new candidates for testing? I know he had to pause there for a while, he was having trouble keeping up.

I"ve reworked my upload to the Files folder, the one on linearizing a QTR curve with a flatbed scanner. For one thing, my title was misleading, I had said something like "Creating a Curve... etc". But it's only for the final step of creating a curve, ie the linearizing. Didn't exactly go viral, did it! Printing with the Epson driver is probably more familiar and I note you are addressing that issue for some users. I'll upload the revised version soon.

"Enjoy the journey", to borrow your phrase,

Paul
