100% carbon is still very possible and can be near neutral. Paper and profile selections are key to this.
The toner based on the Canon pigments give you silver print stability for a neutral print. That's not bad.

It does help, Paul, thanks. But I hate to give up that archival quality we've all come to appreciate!
Best,

For B&W, it's usually the magenta that fades faster than the cyan, thus the green shift. In that regard, the MIS color inks as toners are not as weak as the color inkset tests suggest. In my tests, they were about the same as the Piezo B&W set. The OEM M and C are stronger, but the difference is not as much as the tests of just the color inksets would suggest.I short, due to Y not being used in the toner, an MIS based color toner is not going to be a bad ink. It won't match a silver print, but it will last a reasonable time in normal home display.Hope this helps.PaulOn Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 3:40 PM, paulmwhiting@...

I look forward to your next phase in this research! Sounds great.
But help me with this, from one of your earlier messages earlier in this thread:: "MIS's major problem with its color set was similar to Epson's -- a weak yellow."
How does that figure in our concerns, ie b/w? Something here I'm not getting, sorry!
