Digital BW, The Print

Hi Chris,

Did you buy your MIS Eboni from within the UK or did you order directly from the States ?

It was the shipping costs that put me off so I opted for the Image Specialists pigment ink.

Best Regards,

Bill

I use the MIS carts with their cleaning fluid, in the color positions, and Eboni carbon in the MK, PK, and GLOP positions. I like the results, and it's simple and very economical. There've been some criticisms of the "grain" in the middle-gray tones but when I think of a similar size print in a film/silver print I don't worry about it.

But usually running through a sheet of water color paper sprayed with alcohol does the trick and/or cleaning the large rubber wheel at the far right of the paper entry.

I've submitted some test prints to Aardenburg Imaging & Resources for longevity testing, see my combination third one down: http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/index.html I do a fair amount of historic building documentation and these prints are now acceptable as equal to or better than darkroom prints. But with Aardenburg's stamp of approval in a month or so (I hope!) I'll have more argument in my favor.

I only use the 1800 for b/w printing.I love the 3MK set-up, especially now that Canson, Moab & Innova papers are available here.The Canson & Innova look very good. Also discovered that the Moab Entrada paper is available in 13" rolls, so next project is some big panoramas.
