Eboni v1.1 - Dmax - Problem

2016-01-29 by phlg@...

Just received some pints of Eboni v1.1 ( K ). My first tests give a very low Dmax compared to the old Eboni.

The tests are made on Canson Photo Rag. I have just printed the K ramp with QTR in calibration mode.


With the old Eboni, the better LAB L* value is around 15.5.

With the Eboni v1.1, the better LAB L* value is around 19.5.


The nozzles were ok, I purged the lines, made some tests on different printers, different lines and cartridges, but nothing to do.

I have also tried some dilutions with the same proportions I usually use, and the results are really lighter.


Do you think it's a bad blend ? Until now I never had this kind of problem.
