Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

>... you will know what Ultrachrome does by the end of the week.

Well, I'll be at 300 hours in the fader -- a good point to see what is
happening -- on 9/19.  So, we'll know with some certainty what the fade and
warming situation is then.

I've also found the particle size -- its smaller than the traditional quads.
So, no problem there.

The big question is probably viscosity.  Inkjets are sensitive to this.  It
will take some actual trials to see about that issue, and a couple people
are going to try it reasonably soon.  I don't think one could damage a
printer by any viscosity difference there may be.  So, I'd guess visual
examination of test strips (with resolution charts) would tell us what we
need to know.

Yes, it's not as cheap as MIS FS-K, but it is still within reason.

I'm not sure I'd go for the 10600 inks.  That machine uses a larger nozzle
size.  It is more likely to have a viscosity or other difference than the 4
picoliter 9600.
