Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for the further clarification.

 

From what I understand I need to get K4 -LK so that I can use it for matte
or glossy?

 

Is K4 Matte Black Eboni-K the same at Eboni6 K or do I need to get the K4 K?
Can I use either of these with matte or glossy?

 

Thanks again,

Gary Wagner

Eb6-M is not K4-LK. It's about the same density as LK, but it is not glossy
compatible.

18% Eboni.

If you use QTR for printing, it doesn't matter where the inks are.

If you want to be able to use the Epson driver, the Y position is the ink
that the Epson driver is able to control the easiest. So, if the LK is your
warm toner, it might be best to put it in the Y position.

On the other hand, I think it's best to have a low load ink physically next
to the K in the printer so that the mostly water ink helps rinse the parking
pad.
