Re: [Digital BW] VM vs. FS Black

2002-01-16 by Paul Roark

Just wanted to clarify something here.

MIS VM and FS blacks are the same as each other and appear to me to be
identical to Piezo black.  However, I can't say whether they actually are
the same ink as Piezo black.

MIS and Piezo inks appear compatible, in that there does not seem to be any
reactions that would cause clogging, as far as I can tell.

MIS FS and VM inks other than the black inks are different and not
interchangeable with each other.  The VM and FS magentas are essentially the
same densities, but the FS inks are slightly less warm.  They, of course,
are compatible in that mixing will not cause clogs.

Piezo midtones have the same densities as the new FS inks.  However, MIS and
Piezo midtones are quite different inks.
