Digital BW, The Print

The Museum black isn't all that black. Portfolio is better, and the 
black black is the blackest. (Cone inks).

The Generations 4 black is deeper than any of the above. Very close to 
black black. Very. But enhanced is still just
a tiny bit blacker. I could live with the Black Black from cone.

Where does the new MIS version 4.3 black fit in here with the 4 above 
inks as far as deep blacks go?

I  recieved 12 little prints from Cone, and I think the Selenium toned 
ink print with the Black Black is gorgeous. But I
understand the black black is not very stable. Anyone know for certain?

If they had at least an honest 35 year life and they weren't three times 
as expensive as most other inks, I'd use them
but first I'd like to see and hear more about the MIS 4.3 inks.
