Re: Black only printing.

2003-10-24 by Boris Wiedenfeld

My experience with BO printing has been very good.  My preferred combination
was the MIS GP photo-black (Ultrachrome equiv) ink on the JetPrint Instant
dry glossy or Epson Premium Glossy for my 13x19.  I used the MIS bulk
bottles to refill cartridges.  For matte, I really liked the MIS VM black on
EEM paper.  

It gives me a grain that is similar to 35mm blow-ups.  On very light greys
it can be an aquired taste though.  Recently my 1280 broke and I am now
using an hp7960 with hp premium plus glossy, which gives me more of the
large-format glamour look, but I will repair the 1280 soon and use BO again
for the pictures that I want grain in.

Hope that was helpful.

Cheers,

Boris Wiedenfeld
