Digital BW, The Print

Sarah,

 

I like the high dmax the Epson PK can reach.  At the 100% black point it is
rather neutral, but for BO, I'd guess it'll be warm.  For BO, the MIS R2-PKN
might be the best.  Unlike the original PKN, the R2 version has the right
mix to avoid going green in the midtones.  The R2 PKN is available in bulk
at http://www.inksupply.com/bw/utr2 .

Paul, can you explain why you like this PK? I have been wanted to try BO
printing on some 
Silver Rag and wasn't sure if I should stick with Epson's PK or try the MIS
PKN.

What is your opinion?

Thank you,
Sarah
