Digital BW, The Print

Phil, 



In general you need to use a PK ink on glossy paper. Eboni is a MK ink intended for matte paper only. You can try using Print Shield to "lock it down" or over print it with GLOP. I've had a little success with Print Shield on Piezography K7 inks in some experiments. 



Check Paul Roark website also. He's done some work with MIS PK on glossy papers.

Thanks Igor. I tried on a few different glossy paper. The black pigment 
from MIS, I think it is ebony, is easily wiped out or even wiped quite 
clean on certain glossy paper. 

Though I mostly printed on matte surface, I observed that glossy 
surface, especially semi-glossy/semi matte/satin/luster, give us 
something aesthetically that 100% matte surface lacks. 

Thanks, 
Phil
