Matching MIS Quadtones to a suitable color ink

2002-07-28 by jamiedrouin

Although somewhat off-topic, I feel this is still within the focus of
this group: I am looking for an archival color ink process that will
match my MIS Quadtone exhibition prints. I enjoy the velvet, gravure
quality of the MIS Quadtones with EAM paper and need to find a color
process which will have the same 'look'. Black plays more than a large
part in my images, so the process would have to deal with this extra
well. The color stability would also have to reach well into the
70-100 year range.

I have been looking at the new 2200 printer as well as the MIS
pigment-based color inks, but have no opportunity to see prints from
either first-hand, so I am relying on the experiences of this group. I
know that several of you are exhibiting artists, like myself, and have
probably already researched this question for me.


Best regards,
Jamie.
