Re: [Digital BW] Re: Suggested Monochrome Inkset for Epson 2200

2006-11-15 by john eckenrode

I have playing with the K7 split tones lately and I
second John's choices on paper, especially Museum
Etching-great stuff, but expensive.
I made a couple curves for the Premier Fine Art 270g
that aren't bad, but it prints cooler than the Hahn
papers. Paul Roark has always suspected that Premier
Hot Press and Epson Ultrasmooth are the same paper and
John and my findings that both print coolish might
confirm that.
Ultimately the split tones and Museum Etching may be
my favorite combo after years of screwing around with
a bunch of inks and papers.
