Re: [Digital BW] Gen 4 Black was Ink decisions

2002-09-05 by Martin Wesley

Jerry,

I really like the Selenium-PiezoTones but from Paul's tests the black
doesn't hold up as well as the Generations black. So I was thinking of
replacing the blacks but the Selenium-PT black is pretty warm and I suspect
that the Generations is more neutral. I was considering using the MIS
concentrated tinting inks to warm it up, a bit of M and Y. Don't really feel
like tinkering around but it never seems to end.
