Digital BW, The Print

Mark, I just printed some photos with the epson archival paper at 2880, with the VM black ink.  You got the standard ink, which is not as
black as the VM ink.

The print (rocks and lichen, lots of texture,) printed absolutely beautiful. Beautiful tone, sharper that I thought, deeper blacks than I
have ever seen outside epson's dye black ink, and just all around terrific. There was one small patch of medium gray water, where there were
Tiny dots and artifacts, but nowhere near as bad as they are at 1440 DPI. They can be dismissed in this case as it is a small area, and you
have to get 4 inches or so from the print to see them at all.

The same technique doesn't work for photo matte paper from legion. The dark water reflections of the rocks, which are detailed, but about
zone 3 and below, was just one solid mass of dripping wet black ink on that paper.

Haven't tried other papers yet.

That set comes with the standard black unless you order the double density or the VM variable tone black. Both are deeper black than the one
you have. Also, You could use the enhanced black from generations, that too is a very deep black and is compatible with the mIS inks.
