Re: Piezography MPS Black Ink Dmax

2009-06-15 by Jon Cone

Depends upon the workflow. If you use a Piezography generated curve for QTR (which I make) - its quite complex and involves several inks...  If you go your own, then its up to how you generate the black.

MPS is a gloss compatible 100% pure pigment black - that I can get up to 2.5 on glossy with it and about 1.54 to 1.6 on Photo Rag depending upon Photo Rag batches...

NK7 Matte black gets 1.64 to 1.68 on Photo Rag - so you give up about .10
