Re: [Digital BW] Anyone using MIS UltraChrome Ink in a 4000?

2005-05-05 by Louis Dina

Thanks, Carl.

What do you think of the color gamut, Dmax, etc?  Is it as good as 
the UC inks?  The MIS site claims implies better results on glossy 
paper (I'm assuming they means less bronzing).

Have you compared profiles in a 3D gamut plotting program such as 
ColorThink?

Thanks,

Lou
