Re: 3-MK and Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk

2008-01-04 by scott_now_coming

Hi Gary,

I used the Eboni 3-MK approach with the IGGFS. 
Yes, if i pressed my finger had across the print, I got a little ink 
on my finger. Not much though. Hardly noticable, on the print or my 
finger.

I'm sure a light coat or two of a fixative would cure that concern.

What really impressed me was there was NO gloss differential at all. 
I mean NONE.

No matter how bright the light source was, and no matter what angle 
to the light I bent the photo or turned it, there was NO gloss diff.

Again, I was using the R800 w/3Eboni carts installed and printing 
through QTR.

Scott
