Digital BW, The Print

I'm using the same setup as yours with the "universal black", and I'm very happy with the results..especially with Epson's"matte" or "lustre"  finished papers..I'm sure you would have much better results on "glossy" with thier "PK" type black, but you would lose lots of D-Max on your Matte finished papers..The same issues exist with Epson's own "Ultrachrome", but they don't even offer a "universal" black.....I guess you can't have your "K"ake and eat it too!!

  Subject: [Digital BW] Black Ink Problem Using MIS GP Ink


  I found people in this group are very knowledgeable on MIS products. 
  So I'd like to ask your advice on the problem I experienced when use 
  MIS GP black ink. I ordered the GP ink cartridge for my epson 1280 
  recently. I got good results on matt paper but had bad results when 
  printing on glossy paper (epson premium glossy, luster and permajet 
  oyster paper). On those glossy-based prints, when I tilt the print, I 
  can see the reflection of the black portions are so odd that they 
  dont' seem to be part of the print. In other words, all other colors 
  are melted naturally into the paper but the black portions are like 
  something that are separately patched on and not the integral to the 
  whole print. I was wondering if this is so called "solarizing 
  effect". Any of you have used MIS GP inks? What are your 
  experiences, particularly for printing on glossy paper? MIS claims 
  that the black ink in the cartridge is Universal Black that works on 
  both glossy and matte. But my result is clearly unsatisfactory. 
  Should I use their Photo Black (PK) instead? If so, will I have good 
  results for matte printing?

  Thanks.
