Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

I measure density of the black ink on paper in the 100% patch of a 21-step
test strip, using an X-Rite "Color Digital Swatchbook."  It's a
spectrophotometer, also known as a densitometer.

OK, so here is my new champ for blacks:  MIS dye black, 1160, Epson Photo
Paper, Epson driver, 100% K patch visual density = 2.30.  (The Piezo driver
results in 2.17.)

I'll be mixing a dye-based "FS" inkset soon.  It might be interesting.

  Paul, how does one measure the density of black on a print?
