Re: Diluted Eboni and uncoated papers. It was: Mixing for carbon-6 inks

could be, I'm also working from old stock. Since it's uncoated it's possible there is some OB in the paper itself for batch consistency, not uncommon and would therefore vary per batch.

Sometime back it was stated that blacklight showed that the Somerset contained OBAs.I hadn't seen that but wondered about it so I used a monochrometer to illuminate the paper and scanned at about 2 nm uv bandwidths from 330 nm up to near 400 nm.There was no visible florescence over that range.

The non white papers are also nice for appropriate projects. For a buff paper, Arches Cover is a favorite.
