QTR-Quadtone RIP

To clarify my use of inks, I find MIS carbons -- Eboni and PK, LK, LLK -- to
be excellent.  I'm a B&W guy, so color inks are relevant only to the extent
they are used with the carbon inks.  In my comparative fade testing, the MIS
blended carbon + color inksets did about the same as the Peizo samples I
tested with them.  I switched to OEM Lm in my 7500 some years ago.  See
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4K+.pdf   But for most casual B&W, the
third party B&W blended inks are good enough, and MIS B&W inks are a good
value.  I think they can fill important gaps in the market.

For my fine art and museum work, I obviously prefer 100% carbon.

After that, for fine art, I prefer HP Z3100 Pk as a pigment for neutral
glossy and very neutral to cool matte prints on almost all popular papers.
 The HP PK dilution with MIS glop to stop bronzing is particularly
interesting.  But the ability to buy OEM Z3100 gray and light gray provides
us with an OEM ink solution for neutral monotone B&W that sets a baseline
for all the others, in my view.  So far, they've run well in the Epson's
I've used them in.
