Re: [Digital BW] ABW vs. Cone vs. Imagprint

2005-11-26 by markketzler

Just to close any gaps: I do not need to print in color on the same
printer, I would be printing on photorag 308 or similar matte, ideally
My goal is to match vintage Agfa 118 warm matte fiber, but I have not
seen any output on inkjet that did - yet.

thanks again,
