Re: Re[2]: [Digital BW] Re: Eboni Black questions

2004-02-27 by Steve Kale

I am surprised by your comments given the success people have had with BO
printing on semi-gloss with Eboni (the spray was simply to fix the ink and
stop it from rubbing off).  I would have thought that if BO printing with
Eboni on semi-gloss was good then colour printing on semi-gloss using Eboni
black would be good also.

<I do not think it's a matter of spraying as the eboni ink on glossy I
find just dull and lifeless. I guess spraying might help for that. As
a comparison I found MIS FS-N inks to look pretty good on glossy when
I used that in my 1160. It just smudged easily. Spraying that solved
that problem. With eboni on glossy it just looked so bad from the
get-go that I dropped the idea after my first try. Not sure why as I
did not think the eboni was that different than the FS-N formula in
terms of how the ink sits.>
