Re: [Digital BW] comparing black inks

2005-12-12 by Peter Marshall

Yes, I'm using Peizotones - and have been since they replaced the 
earlier Piezo inks. Really there isn't anything to say about them. I 
switch on the printer, follow the instructions and print. And there is a 
PeizoBW group, though very few messages there.

I use the Museum black and haven't any problems with the density on 
Hahnemuhle Photorag and similar papers.
But I don't own a densitometer:-) I've yet to see anyone else produce a 
print that makes me want the bother of trying any other inks on 
Photorag, though I have made the occasional black and white on glossy 
and lustre surfaces with the Epson 2400.

The MIS inks are certainly cheaper than Piezotones, but given the cost 
of ink is a fairly small % of the print price I'm not too worried about it.

Regards,

Peter Marshall
