Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

Will your Eboni 3MK tests include several kinds of paper? As I noted above, I'm using PremierArt Fine Art Paper Matt. They describe it as a rag paper with a 100% cotton base, "naturally acid and lignin free and buffered for added stability", and using no OBA's.

I will definitely send in my membership Monday morning, I want to support this valuable work you are doing. And I appreciate your presence here, in this forum.

I was so overdue in getting the 10 megalux exposure data up on the site, that I just decided to hold off until the 20 meglux hour data had been measured as well. That task is finished now and the only remaining issue is sitting down and updating the website. For practical reasons that have to do with my list management on my website, I've been slowly updating the list in order, and I still have a few brand new samples that need some final edits on their description pages before I post. So, it is those reports and not the Eboni 3MK results  that are holding up the show at the moment.

The reality is that not all monochrome sets are truly "fully carbonized" and dilutes also introduce additional variables, so as the saying goes "mileage may vary".
