Re: MIS-FS vs MIS-FSN

2002-09-30 by Shilesh Jani

Mathias,

I don't know of any web-site showing the difference. I have used both 
inks on a 1280 printer and EAM paper.  The difference is quite 
striking. Side by side, the FS-N will look bluer than the FS.  But, 
in reality it is very neutral.  The color of the paper is very 
important to the look of these inks.  FS-N looks more blue with cool 
papers such as EAM and Eclipse Satine Bright White. If you use a warm 
paper (e.g., Hehnemuhle William Turner or Eclipse Satine Soft White), 
FS-N inks don't look quite as blue. In my experience, these inks 
don't work well with Somerset Velvet. Martin Wesley has done some 
experiments with mixing the inks, and my recollection is that he 
liked the 80%FS-N + 20%FS mix the best. But you may want to search 
the archives to be sure.

Good luck.
