RE: [Digital BW] Question for Paul - MIS inks

2006-09-10 by Paul Roark

Roger,

>Can I use MIS PKN in an Epson R2400?

Yes, but I have not tried the various ones MIS sells to see which is best.
The k3 machines are optimized for a lower load PK than the older ones.  So,
the older PKN that was originally mixed for an early C82 or C84, will
probably not be the best.  The UT-R2 PKn or the UT-3D M might be better
choices.  (The 3D M is actually a low-load PKN.)

>Is MIS K4 LLK the same as MIS UT-3D LLK?

No, the 3D version is somewhat neutralized.  The MIS K3 LLK is pure carbon,
and warmer than either the 3D or Epson's version (which is about half
carbon).

>Is MIS K4 LK the same as MIS UT-3D LK?

No, there is the same difference as above.  

If you want a warm carbon LK and LLK, MIS's versions are the best.  For the
2400 and the Y=Carbon B&W approach, I recommend MIS K4 LK and LLK.  This
extends the warm range a bit due to the warmth of the pure carbon.
