Re: BO with Eboni

I do BO printing and recently switched to Eboni after using the MIS
FS-K for a long time.  The term "blacker" can mean different things to
different people, so here's what I learned - Eboni is a bit warmer
than fresh FS-K, but not as warm as FS-K after it has warmed.  The
testers say that Eboni warms so little as to be negligible, so the
long term result of Eboni is a cooler tone.  Both have excellent D-max

I find that the resolution in fine details is much better at 2880.

I print at 2880dpi on a 2200 and use the matte paper setting.
