Digital BW, The Print

Clayton

Thanks for the information regarding papers and OBA. I had used K3 on my
3800 and thought the results looked very good. The two issues that concerned
me were the use of color inks and how archival they were and secondly I
sometimes thought I  saw hints of color in the prints under different lights
which also bothered me.  Because of these issues I have been working with
Eboni 6 and Cone K7 to try and find a better solution. It seems that all
combinations have plusses and minuses with no perfect winner but all very
good and useable. I am looking to get a older larger printer to do B&W with
and am trying to iron out these issues on 8.5x11 paper before going to
larger roll paper. I am still looking for better black density with matte
paper but continued to be challenged to find it. 

Thanks for your help.

Hello Gary,

> I've been using K3 in a 2400 since August '05. I use two papers now: 
VFA - best dmax for K3 ink, gorgeous tonality, has OBAs.
STA (Innova Soft Texture Art) - best non-OBA paper I found for K3,
beautiful tonality, warmer paper color and tones, but less dmax.
