Re: [Digital BW] Low gamut pigments

2009-08-10 by john dean

Well the idea was theoretically to create a 6 tone monochrome inkset for the Z3100, not small Epson printers which I have no interest in. There is no LLK in the Vivera set. You have PK, Gray, and Light gray. It is a very, very good tri tone  and uses no composite color pigments, but I was theorizing more very light grays in a PK inkset, run out of Studio Print. On gloss papers like Photorag Baryta, these inks are the perfect neutral color.
