Re: [Digital BW] Greenies with MIS-FS?

2002-05-02 by Thom McGraw

I use the FS inks in an 1160 and notice a bit of olive
green on my prints; however, this is only evident
under tungsten lighting.  And, if I leave them exposed
unprotected (no glass) for a while - depending on the
paper - they turn a lovely shade of brown.  Museo
seems to be the worst offender for - what I term it -
the tungsten greenies.  I recently printed a duplicate
of a print that had been displayed for a few months
(both on museo) and noticed quite a difference. 
Again, this is viewed under tungsten:  New print
green, old print brownish. To my eye, the nearest I
can get to a neutral print is to use Eclipse Satine.

So, out of curiosity, do you see the greenies in all
lighting situations, or just tungsten?  Of course, and
I don't mean to continually beat a dead horse, after
viewing the purple haze of Lysonic inks, probably
everything will look green to me.
