Digital BW, The Print

Paul

I'm sorry that it took so long to get back but Customs losing the parcel, a trip to Italy and then finding I was still short of one of the inks delayed the testing.

I did it today and your Warm Sepia FS on a 3000 works beautifully. 

Anybody with a Piezo driver who want a rich sepia tone - try it.

Many thanks Paul

  Thanks Paul,

  I'll order the inks from MIS today and let you know how I get on. Delivery from the US to the UK will probably be a week or two.

    OK, here is what I've come up with this evening.  The VM-sepia toner as a
    starting place to make an FS-Sepia-cyan didn't work very well. It was not
    warm enough to be very flexible or interesting.

    So, here is a draft formula for an FS-Sepia-cyan (position).  Once you mix
    this you can dilute it just like you diluted the other cyan to make the
    FS-Magenta and FS-Yellow for the Piezo driver (see below).  Or, if the sepia
    tone is too warm, mix the FS-Sepia-cyan with the standard FS-cyan to get the
    tone you want, and then do the dilutions below.

    FS-Sepia-Cyan = 20% VM/FS/(Piezo?)-K, 26% MIS Archival magenta (color
    pigment), and 54% MIS FS-yellow (the new yellow pigment).

    Let me know how it works out.  The test strip looks (and X-Rite measures) a
    lot like the shade I chose to print the sepia landscape I distributed in the
    print exchange.  (A copy submitted to a juried show took best of show and
    sold.)  I think it should be a useful shade/tone.
