Re: [Digital BW] Re: Does the ink make a difference in C86?

2005-02-09 by Douglas Meeuwsen

I use a C86 for color, and it is pretty good, but the durabrite paper 
is not as good an image as cheap epson glossy paper, or enhanced matte. 
With those two papers, the color is exactly matching my crudely 
adjusted powerbook monitor. The prints form the color C86 have a nice 
vibe that I like, but it might not be tack sharp, like some inkjets on 
glossy paper. The inks are pigment, so they have that look to them. The 
dot size is small, so with the MIS inks, it very well may be sharper. I 
was going to convert mine but for right now I am leaving it in color 
for snapshots. The colorsync on the mac is bulletproof with it.
