Re: Which Inks with Black Only

2005-09-08 by Tony Bonanno

HI Michael,

As already pointed out, Eboni will give you a more "neutral" cooler
tone using BO than the Epson Matte black.  When using BO, only the
matte black ink is used on the matte/watercolor/art paper settings. 
Pantone matte black pigment is essentially identical to Eboni black
also.  Have you checked out Clayton Jones' BO webpages ?  Worth a look
for sure..

Tony
