Re: [Digital BW] Wilhelm Ultrachrome Ratings

2002-11-27 by Jerry Olson

Hi Paul, 

I don't want to mess with a chip resetter. And I see no reason to use
ultrachrome inks.  I've heard nothing about them that seems desirable
except they are longer lasting.  But are they longer lasting than the
100 + years Kodak rated the MIS VM archival Hex inks at? They don't
appear to have a black as deep as the enhanced Generations 4 black. I'm
used to this black now, and nothing less will be acceptable. I would
always welcome a deeper black than Gen 4, though. Let me know if you
ever come across one.

Also, my 1280 wouldn't take 7 color inksets....
