Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

this isn't quite on your topic of Epson dye inks, but I can tell you 
that I am stoked by the results of using Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 and 
the MIS Archival pigment inks with the substitution of extended 
yellow in their standard color inkset.  Blacks are wonderful, colors 
match the screen...This combination I use for my fine art printing. 
Your right, it is expensive, however I expect that it is easily in 
excess of 100 years under glass on the wall with no direct sunlight. 
The EHM is fine for the everyday snapshots to friends printing...and 
much more cost effective...and I might add should last as long as 
conventional color prints.

I got the curves for the ink/paper combo by using my EyeOne Spectro.

Bill
