Re: Silver Rag, Hahnemuehle, and Innova Fiba Gloss Comparison

2006-06-09 by Shilesh Jani

Paul,

With proper control of OEM K3 PK ink limits, ~2.5 can be achieved on 
Silver Rag and Fiba Gloss (Don't know about Hahn PFA) without 
resorting to dyes. My experiemnts with QTR on 2400 and 4000 loaded 
with K3 PK confirm this.
