Re: Pail black images using pigment ink

2003-02-13 by Clayton Jones <cj@cjcom.net>

Hello Rickard,

One thing is to check the black areas with the densitometer in
Photoshop and make sure they are at RGB 0 (or 100% on the % scale).  
If they are at a value greater than 0 they aren't truly black, and
this will show up with the pigment inks, where they might get by with
the dye inks because of their greater Dmax.

Regards,
Clayton
