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

2002-01-11 by Jerry Olson

I had double density black, and it was extremely close to the VM black.
I think the VM is slightly deeper.

I'll do dip and dunk tests with the MIS Dye blacks, put it in a kleenex
to see if there is any green that comes out of it, and put it a couple
inches from a 100 watt bulb for a few weeks to see what happens.  

If there's any metamerism, I won't use it.  I know the Epson dye is
green in daylight, but that is with gray tones. Do you think the actual
black ink itself would turn green if it only prints pure black, which I
assume that's all it does in a 6 color printer.
