Digital BW, The Print

Alex,

I didn't expect that response/labeling from MIS.  In the past they have
specified arbitrary densities that just showed that one was denser than the
other.  I'd have to check my notes, but I think the densities they have
disclosed here are their mixing ratios -- percentage of the mix that is the
black ink.  This did not used to be public (although I've given out my
approximations and those things that I do before MIS expresses interest).
One thing these mixing percentages show is how non-linear the mixing is.
The cyan is is about 83% as black as 100% black, even though it is mostly
clear base and only 28.5% black ink.

  I just received the FS set.
  I called MIS and they spec'd the densities as

  B 100 %

  C & PC = 28.5 %

  M & PM = 7.2 %

  Y = 3.25 %

  The Yellow seems correct, but  Magenta spec seems strange ...
  I'd have anticipated 72 % rather than 7.2 %
  I need to test them to be sure ...
