Digital BW, The Print

I just recieved my MIS 7600 Archival Inkset yesterday. These are color
inks designed to replace the Ultrachromes. I bought them for the
occasional color print, and so far I'm very happy their performance in
that respect.

I don't intend to do any extensive testing of their BW performance since
I use the Ultratones for that. However, I did make a few BW prints on
EAM and here's my observations:

- There is still metamerism

- The shift is more towards blue in sunlight than towards green

- The shift is smaller than with the Ultrachromes, but visible enough
that I wouldn't be comfortable selling or giving away BW prints made
with them.

- I like blue better than green, so if I had to use a color inkset with
the Epson driver for BW printing I would prefer this over the
Ultrachromes.
