Re: [Digital BW] Is it possible to mix Claria colour inks to make a neutral grey ink?

2015-10-02 by tyler@...

in my opinion the old Lyson dye quad sets were mixed from their color inks, Metamerism failure was terrible, I worked with them for some time. Trying to make neutral with highly saturated colorants seems problematic to me, not only because neutral will be hard to hit, as Ernst mentions, but the colorants involved will each have their own, more noticable, reactions to lighting conditions. Just my thoughts on why those dyes didn't work well. Surprisingly Wilhelm gave them good longevity marks...
