Re: BW densities ?? The Rest of the MIS FS Story

2002-09-04 by a_pettit_jr

Hi Shilesh,
I have them All - I inadvertently ordered the standard FS hex set and then ordered the two Epson PMe and PCe inks ( they are evidently the only differing shades and about 1/3rd the density of their associated inks ). And, interestingly, the Black is neutral, the other inks have a faint yellow cast to them which makes their dilution comparisons difficult.
