Digital BW, The Print

I just heard from Norm Levy that Media Street has started filling orders
for the Generations QuadBlack ink set I designed for them. 

I've made curves for printing with these inks and Roy's QuadTone RIP
software. So far I've only released curves for the Epson R200 printer
which lists for $99. It makes superb b&w prints on RC luster paper with
photo black ink, and on matte & fine art papers with matte black ink,
but it is limited to letter size prints. 

I've posted curves at www.richardwolfson.com/quadblack with other info
too. So far there are curves for G-Chrome Lustre plus several matte
papers. I'll be making curves for more printers soon, and I expect the
Epson 2200 will be next. Since the 2200 has 7 channels, it will hold
both blacks and switch between RC and matte prints any time. 

I'll do my best to respond to questions about these inks and how to make
b&w prints with them. Please feel free to post questions on this list or
contact me by email.
