Seeking printer and ink recommendation

2009-07-07 by Mike Acar

Hi,

I'd like to start doing digital B&W printing at home; my end goal is to 
make prints which are like traditional fiber B&W prints (not that I was
particularly good at it, but I really came to like the heft of Ilford 
FB). So I've done a bit of reading over the last couple of days, trying
to figure out the state-of-the-art - mostly on Paul Roark's site, but
also a bit on Eric Chan's and Clayton Jones's.

Paul's information is very thorough, but it's also over my head - for 
example I'm not sure what he means by "LK and PK density inks" in his
discussion of the 1400-NC2 inkset. So the first thing I would like is a 
to educate myself enough to ask intelligent questions, and so I'd like a
pointer to a current introduction that will help bring all the concepts
together. Is e.g.  http://www.cjcom.net/articles/digiprn2.htm still
relevant? Are there any better sources?

Thanks!

-- Mike
