To all on the list:

Please do me a favor.

Name the Paper and ink you have used to get the deepest blacks you have ever seen from an inkjet printer.

That's it.

Just ONE Paper name ...

and ONE inkset, containing that black.  Nothing more. no comparisons. no details!

Thanks.

Yah, and all the pigeons in your neighborhood have inky lips.
I knew that post would not die a decent death, and this one probably
won't either.
Jerry, my point is-
The only thing that matters is how black the ink prints, with your
printer, on your paper. Period.
Though I'm sure someone out there is selling dip and dunk tests in a
Soho gallery for thousands of dollars.

Okay, lets kill this thread!
You're right.

Jerry

And yes the pigeons in my neighborhood do have inky lips.
