>... To get a neutral print, it is necessary to use non-black inks. > This is because the black inks are not neutral. Not all carbon is always warm. A very neutral print can be made with Eboni MK. See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800-Glossy.pdf and the print tone graph for the Ilford Gold Fibre when printed with Eboni MK and sprayed with Premier Art Print Shield. I don't like having to spray prints, but the result was about as neutral a print as is possible, with no color inks and no color artifacts. Carl and I have been looking at a workflow that uses Gloss Optimizer instead of Print Shield. It's not quite as neutral, but close. See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/3MK-Glossy.pdf Unfortunately, even Eboni when diluted prints warm on glossy papers. So we'll be experimenting with the 1800 and the UT-RC blended inks next to see how these do when more smoothness is required than is possible than the 100% Eboni workflow can deliver.
