Digital BW, The Print

No problem, I also forgot which list this was. The water testing got a 
few off hand remarks in the Epson wide format group, but I didn't 
realize that I was here and not there until after I sent it, which 
means it is to late. I really think you might want to try the Eboni 
black. Primarily the Etching is what I use, and have used for years. I 
do remember the scuffing problems, but it really is a little better 
with this ink. On some papers you will lose a little Dmax, but the loss 
is extremely small with the Hahnemuhle papers, at least compared to 
when I was running the Mediastreet G4 inks (dye/pigment black). When I 
get done testing this new ink, I'll let you know and maybe if you 
haven't tried this black I can print something for you to test (I'll 
even let you dunk it under water ;-] ). I should be finished by this 
weekend, I just have one or two things to check to make sure a problem 
is not caused by me, and then contact the manufacturer to see what they 
say. The black is the same, but the colors are much different (and may 
only work with a UC ink printer). Seems that there is way too much 
pigment for my old 9500 to handle, even after limiting and 
linearization are completed.
