Digital BW, The Print

I've taken a snippet of the AaI fade test data for some of the B&W printing approaches we use and posted a brief summary here:

Carbon pigments did very well.

Mark at http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/ is providing us with information that is way beyond what we've had before.  Please help support this resource.  

Access to the full fade tests allow you to see, among other things, what color inks do best.  It's the most rational way to find out about the longevity of competing inks, including those that we might want to use as toners for our carbon + color inksets.  To make such an inkset, no mixing is needed.  Anyone can throw 4 carbs into a printer, add the light colors of choice, and use QTR to control the best inkset possible for your particular preferences.
