Digital BW, The Print

Hallo fellows,

just got a crazy idea... It might have been up before .. then I do 
excause! (I did a search but didn't find anything)

We are here talking about "can I reach that tone" etc etc
I like it!

What about me throwing out this idea in the space:
With tinted inks (not in cartriges....) can we not tint the paper 
before or after the print is made by FS-N or any other 
rather "Quad/Piezo neautral method".

Spray or dump cloth with "good" tint or any other good idea from a 
genius fellow here in this group. In a way we do it in the wet 
darkroom. This could be done as dodging, or on the whole of the 
print/paper?????



Just a thought of mine.
Anyone doing this out there?
MIS have all the archival tints - just a method for it.

Bo,

the easiest way to do this is with a second, color printer. If you attempt to wet 
the paper as you suggest, you will interfere with print quality.

Alternatively, you can coat the finished print with acrylic medium tinted with 
whatever you like. This would only be an overall tint, no local shifts of color.

But you have to do your own fade tests for any of  this....
