Carbon Ink Print permanence

2005-03-25 by Andre

I'm been using MIS carbon pigments inks for a few years now and all
the while thinking that they have those qualities which contribute to
print permanence. But what proof do I have ? 

Which pigment is used in the Eboni black ink ? Is it carbon black ?

I've been searching the Wilhelm site for info on the MIS inksets but
did not find any. It is because it's there and I've been looking in
the wrong place or because MIS never got around to have the inkset
tested by WIR.

If it's a question of money, I'd be more than happy to contribute to a
fund that would allow MIS UT inksets to be tested by WIR. All MIS has
to do is let me check a box for a contribution and add an amount each
time I make a purchase.

And I'm sure MIS could get with a paper mfg to share to cost of
testing their inksets with a specific brand of paper.


Cheers,
