Digital BW, The Print

I though some old photo fans might like to see how the Sepia2 toner can be
used in old photo reproductions.

I've asked Martin to post the image "Old Photo VM-Sepia2 v MIS VM" on the
Message Related Files section of the forum.

(See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/files/ and
double click Message Related Files to get to that folder.)

The image on the left was printed on Somerset Enhanced (for more warmth)
with MIS VM inks and the warm curve.  The image on the right was with the
Sepia2 toner that I've previously described.  It was a split-tone so that
the old photo could have a nice warm tone, but the cardboard "frame" could
remain neutral, which it was.

Paul,

Thank you for posting those examples comparing your Sepia2 Toner. You
mentioned that the one on the left is on Somerset Velvet, is the Sepia print
also on that paper?

Beautiful... with all the hard work you do with these inks, have you
considered re-selling your mixes?  The Sepia would do very well for many
photos, not just old ones. ;-)

Thanks
Carolyn

Paul,

Are you sticking with the formula for the 4 ink printers which you detailed 
in a previous post?  Your previous post implied that you might still adjust 
dilutions.

Your sepia work is VERY exciting to me.  I can hardly wait to try it, but 
I'll wait till you are finished tinkering.  Let us know, and THANKS.

toner only requires one ink mixing (for quads -- 2 for 6-ink printers, and
I'll describe the standard dilution ratio for the light/photo toner soon). >>
