Digital BW, The Print

In my efforts to make larger, 100% carbon prints, I decided to test the
theory that Eboni would not dilute to make a more neutral LK.  While the
standard base used for the UT inks causes a very interesting reaction with
Eboni, and one I'm not sure I'd want in my printer, I've found another base
that seems to work well.  Whether the base will be available in quantity,
hold the pigment in suspension, and keep it dispersed over the long haul is
not known yet.  However, right now my "Eboni-LK" is printing medium warm
images that allow much better matte K2 100% carbon prints than does the
standard MIS LK.

 

I've put some tone and smoothness information on pages 8 - 10 of
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/K2-Eboni-LK.pdf  

 

And, pressing my luck, an Eboni-LLK test strip just came out of my 7500.
Looks great.
