Question regarding MIS inks

2010-01-25 by edgarangelone

I am new to this group.  I would like to ask a general question about black and white printing.  I come from a traditional silver gelatin and platinum background.  I have not been very happy with black and white inkjet printing until recently.  Currently I use Cone's Special edition inks, which are very nice, but not yet the answer.  I try to read Paul's outstanding papers on his exploration of different types of carbon inks and I am very impressed, but over my head :). 

My question is:  I have a Epson 7800 printer, currently loaded with Cone's inks, I would like to make neutral black and white prints, on mate and glossy surfaces, using pure carbon inks, and to have the best archival properties possible.  I would like to use also the new Canson Baryta paper, as well as Premier new Alcia (I guess that is the spelling). Is there any MIS/Paul's ink set I can use for the Epson 7800 without going through these elaborated mixing formulas, and if there is, where can I buy them??

Thank you very much for your help.

Edgar
