Digital BW, The Print

Paul's black ink only test misled me yesterday. I am not saying that
Paul did this test to cast a doubt on the new PiezoTone inks. But I
thought after seeing it that MIS-FS inks would not fade warm. However,
the new tests which use all four inks that Antonis posted today tell
another picture completely different from Paul's test. If I want to
test drive a car I want all four tires, not just one. If I am
interested in comparison of prints made with one quadblack inkset to
prints made with another quadblack inkset then I want to see all inks,
not just black. 


These are more representative to me - click to see for yourself:

The new tests are conducted with a Xenon which is a standard. You see
this everywhere there is accountability, so I know it is designed in
fairness. Companies which provide this type of professional testing do
so that they can be non-objective.

Paul admited to us earlier on the list that the MIS-FS ink, like all
the quad blacks, warmed noticeably. Therefore this new PiezoTone
inkset is a great improvement because it does not warm. It is a new
invention and I subscribe to this list to find out this information. I
am glad I read list this morning too.
