Spectratone Inks [Digital BW] Re: BW printing problems/ Anyone overcome these?

2001-10-27 by Martin Wesley

Todd, Tyler,

Well the list is as open as Antonis and I intended in that anything 
even vaguely on topic is welcome. In reality the list is very top 
heavy on inkjet printing and that very much weighted towards pigment 
inks. I think that that is simply because that is where most of the 
interest is in digital B&W at this point in time.

I do wish that there were more postings on the other technologies 
though.

I have seen the Spectratone sample prints and I think that for anyone 
who needs a quality glossy print they are much better than struggling 
with trying to get the pigment inks to stick to a slick surface. 
Lincoln Inks does need to work on their packaging, printer support 
and available papers. I believe that they would be willing to work 
with anyone who wanted to give the inks a try on a specific printer 
other than the 3000 or 1200. My impression is that they are mostly 
pursuing the large format printers rather than the desktop though.

Hopefully an end user will share their experiences with us. I would 
really like to hear if anyone has had success using them on a 1280 or 
1270.

Martin
