Re: [Digital BW] Ink Dilution Ratios

2007-03-11 by Tom Baker

Hi Bob  -
   
  I'm sure Paul will answer with detail.  But, most seem to be using the Epson M and LM.  I am.  But, I didn't do any do any testing of my own.  I'm relying on others testing.

          Paul,

I'm going to mix the 3K+CYM inks for my 1280 and searched back posts
to find the dilution ratios. This is what I found:

LK = 32% PK + 68% MIS base
LLK = 10% PK + 90% MIS base
MK = MIS eboni black
PK = MIS photo black

I thought the MIS PK had some dye in it. Apparently you've found the
fade resistance of that ink to be acceptable?

Are you using the MISPRO LC and LM for those ink positions? If I
remember, you prefer the Epson yellow ink, but I'm assuming the MISPRO
yellow will also work fine.

Thanks again,

Bob
