Digital BW, The Print

Hello Norm,

>WHY is Eboni THE ink?  

In addition to what the others have said,

- Eboni gets among the very highest longevity ratings

- It is less warm than other carbon inks

- On certain papers that render carbon based inks cooler, Eboni is as
close to a real neutral black as any pure carbon based ink there is. 
It's really beautiful stuff.  My favorite paper for cold prints is
Condor BW by Hawk Mtn.  From what other experimentors have said (I've
tried many papers but not all), it has the best Dmax of all the cool
papers.  Also, in my experience so far, flaking has been minimal,
almost a non issue.

- With Eboni and a range of papers you can make prints from very warm
to cold neutral.  Not all carbon inks look good on the various papers.
Eboni is uniformly beautiful on every paper I've tried.  

It's great stuff and definitely worth a try.


Regards,
Clayton
