Re: [Digital BW] D-max comparison Cone's K7 (shade MK only) vs MIS Eboni Black?

2013-08-02 by Ernst Dinkla

Which reminds me of my project to print 6 or 8 black inks from different 
brands on 500 papers to measure the Dmax of each combo. The Epson R200 
and R220 are cleaned and are ready to work but so far I got not 1 ML of 
ink sponsored from anyone; no company, no individual. The results will 
be added to SpectrumViz. In the past it was not that difficult to get 
sample sheets from companies for the spectral plots but inks seems to be 
difficult. I do have an old bottle of Eboni but I fear the clogs. My HP 
inks are ready and I expect that Epson inks will come but there are 
Canon, Cone, MIS, OCP black inks that might not get their Dmax tested.
