Re: [Digital BW] getting UT cooler, like I used to get with FSN & G4 K

2003-12-07 by Bob Michaels

Richard, thanks. I've been using the old Generations 4 black at the
suggestion of the late, great Jerry Olson. I found that to work for me
as I don't hang things for very long. Maybe that spoiled me and I'll
just have to get used to a warmer tone black. 

You may remember Linc has the same comment hre about warmness of Eboni
when printing BO. He was coming from the dye Epson black in his 1280.
