Re: Eboni-6 tones, etc.

2008-01-19 by pr_roark

MIS (and its supplier) have matched my glycerin base with one that is
smoother.  The graph of the Lab A & B for the MIS base PA Smooth BW
print is at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eb-6-220-MIS-Base-PA-BW.jpg
<http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eb-6-220-MIS-Base-PA-BW.jpg>   The
tones are essentiall identical to those obtained with the home brew
glycerin base.  See the URL below.  It's also said by the supplier to be
essentially the same as what I've had in the 7500 for months (working
perfectly) and to be compatible with Eboni.  It is not, however,
compatible with Ultrachrome inks.  So, they must be flushed from a
system before the dilute Eboni-6 inks are installed.

With this news, I'm putting my home brew base on the back burner, and I
expect MIS to be able to start supplying the inks soon.

I think this is very good news.
