Digital BW, The Print

Eboni inksets are known to be dedicated to matte papers, and this does not bother me so far, because I love matte paper.
But I'm also found of testing :o)

So: is there any chance to get nice results with Eboni sets on Hahnemühle FA Baryta or PhotoRag Baryta for instance? 

Cheers

OMYGOSH, I could sit and watch that all day! Very adorable!!

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/3MK-Glossy.pdf

If glop or a spray and a PK are used, matte-only ink can be controlled for the midtones.  Concentrated Eboni MK can make the most neutral 100% carbon print if warm carbon PK is used for the 100% black end of the curve.  Dilute Eboni/Carbon-6 midtones make a very warm print.

I, personally, don't think making glossy prints with Eboni-based inks is worth the effort, but it is a route to very warm, near sepia tones with the dilute Eboni.

OK... If I have once time to do tests, I will try it: depending on the results I will be able to say that I'm making Art, people cannot understand :o)

Many thanks,
