[Digital BW] Re: Uncoated papers.

2001-09-18 by ken@kensmithart.com

Hi Jerry:
I'm currently running MIS VM inks in my 1160. Using the warm and 
medium-warm curves, I was hoping to see some warm tones on somerset 
velvet, fabriano uno, uncoated papers...but even with some of the 
other transfer curves that pinch back ink flow (because of dot gain) 
for watercolor papers I've experimented with, the ink wasn't warm, 
and was somewhat muddy, and in fact....I saw what looked like 
solarization in some of the tests. I've got this in on a cis system, 
so I'm somewhat committed and the tests are ongoing.

I contacted Paul Roark about the ink/paper combination and he emailed 
I most likely would not be happy with the the quads and uncoated 
papers. If anyone has had good luck with the ink/paper combination 
I'd be interested in hearing a workflow.

best,
ken
