Re: [Digital BW] anybody using MIS sepia-neutral VM inks?

Todd,

The new neutral MIS ink fade tests the best.

There is going to be a single neutral base ink.  It'll be used in the FS-N
and in the VM-Sepia-Neutral.  It fades less and warms very little on EAM,
other papers may vary.  In short, this is the result of my efforts to date
on the warming.  The tests look so good that there is no point in making a
neutral ink that warm-shifts the way current quads do.  I hope this ink is a
major step toward solving what I consider a major defect in the current B&W
printing materials.

As I find other ways to improve things, they'll probably be incorporated
incrementally in this inkset.
