Re: [Digital BW] QTR with ConeColor....

2008-08-29 by djon43

Samples of ConeColor on glossy and matte Epson paper, just received,
show zero gloss differential and zero bronzing. It appears that Cone
has made some advances (Cone isn't as optimistic about this as I am,
but his samples are more recent than his website).

I wonder if ConeColor might do better QTR B&W than 
Epson's 2200 pigments do...Epson's have gloss differential and
bronzing problems with glossy and semigloss papers .

Mr. Tobie, I suggest you look carefully into this question for your
own credibility. You may be mistaken.

If someone has recently tried ConeColor with QTR, I hope they'll share
their observations. 

I'm thinking of adding a ConeColor CIS to either 2200 or R800.

Mr. Tobie, I asked an experience-based question. 

Perhaps someone with more experience than you have with ConeColor will
answer. 


The only trick that helps that is to move to a B&W 
> inkset (or a printer with more gray inks in the OEM set).
