[Digital BW] Re: Fade test of MIS & UC Matte Black & Archival Black

Clayton,

fade

At the 100% black spot warming has to be fairly bad to be seen, and the fade
is what I consider the problem there.  The MIS Matte black, which faded 0.08
units, warmed 0.07 units, which is substantial.  The Archival black did warm
0.02 units, but it did not fade and the warming is not visible.  The FS and
Epson Matte black didn't warm at all, but the FS black did fade, and that is
what I'm really concerned about.
