Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thank you for putting this together. All of these inks are nominally looking OK, execpt perhaps K6-Neutral. It is troubling that Lab-a is going negative, and I hate green prints. But I guess that is the price one pays for being so close to zero in Lab-a to start with. In my workflow I try to stay comfortably greater than +1 Lab-a at time zero.

Hey that ABW print is holding quite well. Go Epson!

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.
