Digital BW, The Print

Andy,

I've never tested the "outdoor" K  that Media Street has.  My Gen 3 actually
came with the Enhanced/Beta black.  I have that in the fader now with the
Indelible K and VM K.  (The Indelible distributors objected to my test using
a sample from a third party, so this sample of the Indelible K is from M&M.)

I suspect the Gen old K/outdoor K (I think they are the same) is about like
the old MIS standard quad and archival color K.  In tests of that ink
compared to Piezo K, the MIS standard K faded about the same amount, but
warm shifted slightly more.  So, it was quite good in the fade department,
but not up to VM K in the warm-shifting characteristics.  But, again, this
is the old MIS k, not the Gen K.

  Hello Paul and all:

  I was just curious if anyone did a comparison in the density and stability
of
  the Gen3(all pigment) black and the MIS VM black.

  Thanks for any insight.
