Digital BW, The Print

Louis

I have to say that if you are attracted by the combination of carbon/cotton
go for it.  There will be a learning curve whatever you do so why not start
as you mean to carry on?  In some ways I think that using multi black
inksets is easier, if you want only B&W output, than using the full colour
OEM set, particularly if you go for a fixed tone K6/K7 set (MIS Eboni 6 or
any of the Cone K7 sets).  Have a look at Paul Roark's website on the Eboni
6/Carbon 6 pages - he outlines  some simple workflows there.  Similarly Jon
Cone has instructions on his website.

  Thank you so much, David, Richard, and John, for your insights!

  Being (alas!) a bit of a perfectionist/purist, I feel sort of hypnotized
  by the carbon/cotton combination. So I'm sure this is where I will want
  to go in the end.

  It might be wise though (?), to start as Richard and John suggest with
  OEM, just to get some practice in the digital print world (after many
  years of darkroom), and not have the hassle of changing inks.

  After this I will probably get a second printer, and the question will
  be, which printer to use for what, i.e.

  - color and digital negs on one
  - carbon on the other

  I then have a question on carbon, but I better start another thread for
  this :-) ...

  Louis
