QuadBlack inks now available

2005-05-05 by Richard Wolfson

QuadTone RIP users might like to know I've made curves for printing b&w
images with the new Generations QuadBlack ink set. I designed those inks
for Media Street, and Norm Levy said yesterday they just started filling
orders for the inks. 

So far I've released curves for the Epson R200 printer ($99 list, up to
letter size prints). It makes superb b&w prints on RC luster paper with
photo black ink, and on matte & fine art papers with matte black ink.

I've posted curves at www.richardwolfson.com/quadblack with other info
too. So far there are curves for G-Chrome Lustre plus several matte
papers. I'll be making curves for more printers soon, and I expect the
Epson 2200 will be next. Since the 2200 has 7 channels, it will hold
both blacks and switch between RC and matte prints any time. 

I'll do my best to respond to questions about these inks and how to make
b&w prints with them. Please feel free to post questions on this list or
contact me by email.
