Dye Black/White Inkset

Dye Black/White Inkset

2006-10-05 by Piet Weber

Hi,

Can someone advise me what black inkset to use for B/W printing on a Epson 2100/2200? I 
hate bronzing, so I probably need a dye ink set. Lyson seems to have this Daylight Darkroom, 
which I think is dye based, but are other brands available? I use QuadToneRIP to print B/W 
images with a normal inkset at the moment and make my own profiles. So I am experienced 
with this driver.

Cheers, Piet

Even dye inks are known to "bronze" in certain situations. Also, your
choice of papers is much more limited, if permanence is a consideration.

Bronzing can be eliminated or greatly reduced by spraying the prints
with a protective spray.I guess what I'm saying, experimentation is
the key to finding the ink/paper/spray combo that gives you the
results you desire.
