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

2002-12-25 by Paul Roark

Clayton,

Correction:

I misstated the MIS Matte black warming & fading on the last post.  The 100%
spot only warmed 0.02 units.  The fade was 0.07 units.  The 0.02 warming at
the 100% black spot after the length of time it was in this fader is not a
significant issue.

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.
