So it is in the ink's molecule structure and not a better 
combination of ink and paper coating. That more dense 
clustered molecule is a step to a pigment particle, like the 
K3s are probably a step from pigment particle to dye if 
compared to other pigment inks. The improvement in the ink 
itself should make the paper choices less restricted.

Interesting to see that the black is considered to be more 
black than other dye blacks are. There was a message here in 
this list that said the Dmax was low.  Wonder whether Paul's 
third party pigment ink will give a better Dmax with the same 
printer and driver.


Met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst
