Re: [Digital BW] Epson Site Updated - Dyes in Ultrachrome Inksets?

Tom, Are you saying that the MSDF lists dyes as a component of the matte black? Are there any dyes listed in the Photo Black MSDF? I want to be clear whether or not you meant actual "dyes" when you wrote it, not just meant "dyes/pigments" as a catchall phrase written phrase (I realize you didn't say "dyes/pigments" - but want to be sure that is not what you are implying)... If dyes are a component, your careful, obviously knowledgeable, and skilled reading of the MSDF would represent the first hard evidence that the color isn't all 100% pigment. Anyone else? Although I began college headed for a career in Chem or BioChem, I'm NOT a chemist, accordingly some other people on this list reading the MSDFs would probably do a much better job of picking up on any dyes listed than I would, Keith "Just some guy," and founder of the Multiverse's largest EPSON printer User Community (highly recommended by Vogon Poets and MegaDodo Publications), at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EPSONx7x_Printers/ "For the rest of you out there, the secret is to bang the rocks together guys" \ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
