[Digital BW] Re: I think I want to go back to dye ink.

2007-10-25 by frankjay02

Thanks Paul, 
I bought paper from MIS that was called something to the effect 
of "Paul Roark Trial Pack". Are those papers you would recommend or 
did they name them that even if you do'nt recommend them. 

The 3 inks I bought were the blacks recommended on the MIS site for 
the R1800. Do you suggest them also. I have not opened them yet as I 
am still trying to learn profiles. 
thanks for your response and help.
Frank
