Digital BW, The Print

The PiezoTone WN & Selenium test strips that I tested had excellent midtone
fade characteristics.  I have not tested the Museum black.  The UltraChrome
matte black is the best I've seen in that category.  However, it must be
pulled out of a 9600 cart, and its density on non-EAM papers is apparently
not the best.  (But I've never seen numbers of either the UC or Museum
blacks.)

(Robert, have you measured the UC Matte black density on Eclipse or other
papers?)

  Yes the neutral warm piezotone inks with Museum Black are the most stable
  inks at present.
