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

2006-01-24 by Steven Karafyllakis

Shilesh;

I'm currently using the MIS version of the K3 inks (K4), and my 
eperience is that they bronze LESS than the Epsons. At least when I 
finally changed out the PK the last of the bronzing went away and 
glop became virtually pointless. The downside is that the Epson PK 
produces a tiny bit better Dmax, but nothing really significant.

If the K4 PK LK and LLK combination is of interest, I'd be happy to 
provide a sample print. Perhaps someone else can provide the 
eqivalent in K3 for comparison?

Personally, I think if Jo is game enough to dive into QTR and 
refilling, she would do better to go straight to the readily 
available and much less expensive MIS K4 rather than draining 4800 
Epson carts. The cost difference over the long haul is significant, 
and quantity headshots in the modeling world bring in very little $ 
per print.
