Digital BW, The Print

Hello YaWie,

>lots of paper and ink getting the prints right. I tried three types 
>of paper (Ilford Smooth Gloss Paper, Epson Heavyweight Matte Paper 
>and Hahnemuhle Fine Art Photo Rag) using photo black ink. To my 
>surprise, > the print made on Ilford paper had a sort of green cast 
>and Hahnemuhle paper showed a definite magenta cast. How can this 
>be???

It shouldn't happen with Black Only.  Are you certain "Black Ink Only"
was checked?  With a loupe can you see any ink dots of other colors?

>Should I use the Matte ink on the non gloss paper?

Matte black will have _much_ better Dmax and will be less cool in
color.  The MIS Eboni black is even better.


Regards,
Clayton
