Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Epson 1290 and UT2 with Eboni or Photo Black

I have used it with good results, but it MUST be sprayed with something like "Premiere Art Shield , other wise the "ebony" black will "scuff / be susceptible to flaking off the slick surface of glossy or Lustre..Actually I spray ALL my prints with this stuff for protection from uv fading and other aerial contaminants..

  Thanks Eddie, I wonder if anyone has tried using the Eboni ink on the Luster paper - Paul Roark says he uses Eboni Black for Glossy papers and adjusts the curves.
