[Digital BW] Re: Printing On Gloss...Possible with Digital B&W?

2006-01-24 by Shilesh Jani

Chris,

NanoChrome on a 2200 does work, and you are right you can print 
glossy and matte, and NO bronzing. Sounds great doesn't it? But wait 
a minute: The K and LK of NanoChrome are rather cold in tone, and can 
be neutralized or taken into the warm spectrum only if you add both 
LM (or M) AND Y. When you add Y you are in rather sticky situation 
becuase the print can swing along the magenta-green axis under 
daylight-flourescent lighting conditions. If you accept slightly 
green prints under fluro lights, you should be fine.

Seeing such a high Dmax AND absolutely no bronzing in a print is a 
joy indeed.
