Digital BW, The Print

Dear Martin,

Yes, loading the bulk inks into virgin carts 
for the 1270/1280 printers should work fine 
using the same curves and rgb workflow. 

In fact the workflow should be exactly the 
same with the same curves in all of the photo 
6 color epson printers.  One my take the 
curve and perhaps change the black point and 
overall raise or lower the curve a bit if 
needed.

I just haven't actually run the inks through 
those printers so I'll pass some ink out to 
new beta testors (interested?).  My place is 
piled up with 7 printers and the 9000 and I 
want to work on the pigmented quads here 
next.

On  Brightcube's Xtreme Gamut Gelatin Art 
paper, clue me in on where to get this or 
send me some and I'll run a check on it.  If 
it's real Gelatin, longevity could really be 
maximum, same as on some uncoated 
Gelatin sized watercolor papers.  

On the finish of the Ilford papers, I'd say 
that that the glossy would be between RC 
and Silver Fiber Glossy Paper. Send me 
your address and I'll send you some sample 
prints.

On the black point and overall print contrast 
on the ilford glossy media, I actually print 
better then my new 21" callibrated trinitron 
screen.  That always amazes me.
