Digital BW, The Print

Hello Djon,

It may be just the different papers.  Kayenta renders carbon ink the
coldest of any paper I've tested.  It's my first choice in BO printing
when I want a truly neutral print.  This difference in papers is one
of the main principles of BO printing - we can get a wide range of
print tones with a single ink, just by choosing different papers.

The "Paper chase" article (#5 at the link below) lists the relative
ink tones for each paper, using Eboni BO.  Epson MK will be the same,
just a tad warmer than Eboni.  I doubt that Epson has changed the formula.
