Re: [Digital BW] Best method for printing b&w.

2002-01-09 by Jerry Olson

I was speaking of the long lived Archival PIGMENT inks from MIS, NOT the
dye colors. I have never used their dye inks.  Sorry If you thought I
was referring to the dye set.

The MIS Inks are all pigment, both their quad, hex, and color. They also
sell dye inks. ALL dye inks will fade much faster than pigment inks.

If you have use a 3000 printer, you will always have the dot problem
unless you use the piezo system.
