Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,
 
I was wondering if anyone has had the chance to try the MIS Full spectrum
inks and to compare them with the original MIS quads. I get very
satisfactory results (except for weakish blacks) with the original quads and
Brandin's workflow, but I'm afraid his curves wouldn't work with these new
inks.
Chris, are you there? Any other curves-wiz willing to spend some time on
this?
 
Regards,
Alex Pardi

Alex,

I've been using the FS inks for a while now.  I also used the 
original quads and the differences are noticable... for me 
anyway. Though I never could get the Brandon curves to work, I 
had good results with the Nevins transfer curves. Since I 
switched inks I use the John Woolf workflow. My prints look 
great.

The most noticable difference is a cooler tone. They also have 
the tones shifted to the lighter end of the scale, and a deeper 
black. Another item of interest is that they changed the ink tone 
placment. ( which tone feeds which head ) It now matches the 
Piezo system. So if you switch you will need new cartridges, and 
a new workflow. Brandon curves will be way off. Woolf method is 
good.

Good Luck
Dave
