Re: [Digital BW] MIS VM inks with Epson black?

2002-10-05 by Glenn Thureson

Jerry,

I'm finally printing with VM.  Very nice on scenics.

However, I'm not getting the blacks I want on my BW street photography, so I
need more grit.

The Gen4 black sounds great, but I'm hesitant to spend on a profile at this
time.  What exactly goes wrong when you incorporate Gen4 black without
profiling?  Is there another way (an easier softer way) to solve the
problem?

Glenn
