Re: [Digital BW] How to get bright white with quadtone ink set.

2002-12-17 by Jerry Olson

It is not possible to get a brighter white than the paper it is printed on!

> 1. With a quad or hextone inkset how does one get bright whites in a print, a white brighter than the whiteness of the paper it is printed on?   All the inks are shades of black, so how can one get a white that is brighter than the paper printed on?

The paper itself it the white.

> 2. What is a good archival paper that is whiter than the Epson archival matte paper?

Legion Photo Matte and Eclipse Satine Bright White
 
> 3. Is there any metamerism using MIS quad or hextone inks on Epson archival matter paper?   Note: Using MIS color inks, I don't see metamerism on Epson archival matte paper.  I only see the metamerism if I print on a glossy paper?

Very Little metamerism with MIS Hex or Quad inks.
