Re: [Digital BW] Ultrachrome - Photo versus Matte Black Differences

2003-02-02 by Jo Brunenberg

Hi Miguel,

I am using the Epson 2200 / Ultrachrome.
Made tests with Photo Black and Matte Black on Epson Archival Matte and some other matte papers.

I certainly prefer the Matte black because it results in higher density of blacks.

Best regards,
