Re: [Digital BW] MIS Ultra-tone inks

2003-06-21 by Truman Prevatt

The makers seem to have the secret for making good high quality matte 
papers that give consistent results that are pleasing to view and that 
have no major warts.

On the other hand that doesn't seem to be the case with glossy. Until 
this is the case I will stick matte. We are probably a year or two off 
yet and the so called "bornzing" may always be with us since it has as 
much to do with higher ink loads in dark areas than light areas.  

I'd like to see a glossy paper of comporable of say photo rag, EAM, 
etc., and if one comes out I will try it.
