Re: [Digital BW] Brown Tones w/ Carbon inks

2010-02-03 by Dave

The idea of an all-carbon approach appeals to me. The most appealing  
aspect of it is the lack of illuminant metameric failure. From what  
I've read here, the color of all-carbon ink doesn't change with the  
light. If I can find an all-carbon inkset that fits within the color  
range I'm looking for, I'll go for it. I also like the idea of being  
able to achieve more control over the tonal range in my prints, using  
QTR.

All I need now is a recommendation for an all-carbon inkset that will  
fit within my chosen color range without the addition of color  
pigments. That's why I posted my settings - I'm hoping someone on the  
list can say, "Yeah. I know what your trying to get. My prints with  
(insert inkset) would give you that kind of color."
