Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

The great black I measured was the MIS DYE black on Epson Photo paper.  I
don't think it's new.  I'm sure it fades quickly -- like all dyes I'm aware
of.  (The paper advances have helped dyes considerably, apparently.)

I now have a dye-based FS/Piezo-compatible inkset in the 1160.  On Photo
Paper, I'm printing Piezo software prints with blacks measuring 2.17.  With
the Epson driver and RGB workflow, the blacks are an astounding 2.30 --
better than silver prints, I believe.   The RGB curve needs some tweaking,
but that will wait until have the FS-Dye formula perfected more.  The Piezo
prints have almost perfectly even steps already, but I'm just starting this
experiment.

  Paul, Has MIS changed its formula, or added a new black?  What's the
  fade rate on it as compared to the generations enhanced black? They have
  so many inks, one can get really confused with them. Which of the MIS
  blacks are you speaking of? Or do they only have one dye black?
  Have you heard anything at all on the inks that the 2200 will be using?
