Digital BW, The Print

David,

I hear your frustration.

CDT made my profiles for me as well. After the pigment ink wound up on the floor, my desk and the wall, I loaded the Epson 1280 dyes. I profiled them myself with Profiler Pro and my scanner. I get lovely prints with great color balance. 

I do very little color printing and as such for six months I was very frustrated with the output. I would try adjustments in Photoshop and everything else I could think of. Finally with the profiles and dyes I get the prints I always thought I could get.  

If the Epson dyes give me 26 years under glass, I can live with that. I am printing on BrightCube Eclipse and Hahnemuhle papers. So far, I am very pleased with the results.

Mike

  Michael, I had CDT make up a profile for each of the papers that I was using with the MIS pigs, and the problems that I spoke of still existed to some extent.  I get much better prints with the MIS dyes, full color but printing b&w, than I ever approached with the MIS pigs.
  I've given up on the pigs for the time being.  I'm sure that there will either be improvements in the dyes in terms of stability in the near future, or improvemnets in the pigs, in terms of the problems that I was experiencing.
