Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I took the print to the office today to check under fluorescent light. Unfortunately my office has color corrected fluorescent lighting. I guess the good new is, the print looked fine under those lights.

I am placing the print in the window and will check it in 30 days.

Mike

  Sounds like they've done a good job.

  I thought I had Generations color pigs controlled for a while also.
  However, with my experiment it didn't last.  Weeks later the prints didn't
  look good at all.  Also, my 1160 couldn't print consistently enough to hold
  the neutral profile I'd come up with.  (I expect a 7000 might be more
  consistent than the 1160.)

  Let us know how they look in different light sources and after a few days in
  the sun.  I have no doubt that ultimately the color inksets will be so good
  that's what we'll be using.  I'd be surprised if that day is here for those
  wanting to do long-lasting B&Ws.

  Paul
