Re: [Digital BW] Advice on mixing BW inks for C88+

2016-10-27 by Paul Roark

I have used the Canon Lucia color pigments with both the generic base and MIS amber base. I have never used the Canon PK. I diluted it once and just did not like the color tone. I think it was too warm for me, but it's been too long ago for me to be sure what the color was like. I turned to HP PK for the neutral I was after at that time. So, be clear that I am not in a position to recommend Canon Lucia PK as a starting point. I don't know if the color tone will be what you're looking for.

Paul,

Thanks for the Advice. I think I will go with Canon inks and it 30% dilution. That will require the least amount of effort and cost.

I found your PDF very useful.

Best Regards,

Haris
