Digital BW, The Print

I'm just curious as to how these dual purpose inks work for matte 
papers or how do they compare with the K7 inksets? 

Thanks!

they are part of the K7 family of inks and as far as I can tell
perform as the others on matte. I don't use the other K7 inks here,
but have seen a lot of great output from them by wonderful printers
like Walker Blackwell and John Dean, and K2 Press, as well as Cone
Editions themselves.
These seem to be right in line with them on matte papers. Actually, I
think they are drop dead gorgeous on a few of them, German Etching in
particular, as well as Museum Etching. A few other on this list could
back that up with their opinions too.

Martin, a quick note, I don't think this process is really available
as a plug and play yet, and I hope this doesn't seem like something
I'm attempting to promote as a product. Jon will have his own single
pass plug and play approach at some point in the future, and this
makes no attempt to represent that. It's something I worked up on my own.

Tyler, then you are just getting feedback on the process itself and maybe later offering the 
Selenium Tone ink and paper prints as part of your service?  A few years ago, you printed 
some Viet Namese seascapes ( fishing boats) on what I believe was Selenium Tone on H. 
Photo Rag and the prints are great. I would be interested in these possible additions to your 
printing services.

Martin, my origianl post about this whole thing explains the reasons
for the samples-

Thanks for your comments, whether or not I continue to dedicate a
printer to the setup will depend on all the feedback...
