Re: How many shades of grey?

2005-06-16 by john dean

This could really be something. I am very curious. Fact is even with fiber 
darkroom prints they were never really neutral. They always had casts of 
some kind, green, blue, brown, selenium, but always a little of something and 
the print developer had a big impact on that. These new Piezzo inks may very 
well be the first truely neutral mono imaging we've had, apart from offset 
printing or possibly silkscreen and photo litho.

I really like the idea of letting the media add the only hint of color.
