Digital BW, The Print

I strongly recommend that all the inkjet users visit Jon's poll and cast a
vote. You don't often get an opportunity to have a say in a new product you
may use.

> A - If we deliver you a black with the same

> with a OD that starts slightly less than
> current competing black inks, but does not
> fade and therefore ends higher than them.
> Would you use that black exclusively even

> blacks?
>
> B - If you knew that even another black was
> available which was slightly darker at the
> onset and yet faded to the lower OD of A, but
> not as dramatically as PIezoTone black
> because the starting OD was less, would
> you rather use that because after all it is
> what everyone has been used to?

> o Visually higher OD at onset with fade to point of competing inks.

> o If you lean towards B,  are you willing to sacrifice non-fade in order
to
> have better aesthetics at the onset with a moderately higher black OD?
>
> o If you lean towards B,  are you willing to sacrifice non-fade in order
to
> have better aesthetics at the onset with a significant higher black OD?
>
> o I don't care about fade - I need it to look black as a silver print and
> that's that! If it lasts a month it suits my purposes.
>
> o I fall somewhere in between it looking great and lasting a long time. I
am
> willing to display my prints in low light, or have my clients treat them
as
> watercolors and other sensitive fine art are treated.
>
> o No fade - slightly less OD at onset with higher OD after competing inks
> fade.
