MIS UltraTone ink

2003-05-28 by lewis541b

Tremendous results with the MIS UltraTone quad inkset (CFS) 
on an 1160. Of course in conjunction with Paul Roark's curves.

I've been an ongoing silver printer for more than 20 years and 
moved into inkjet printing to broaden my capabilities. Having 
been a traditionalist I viewed inkjet printing with a great deal of 
skepticism when it first leaped onto the fine art printing stage.

Moving up three years and with several different inksets with a 
myriad of problems having run through my studio, I think it's time 
to applaude MIS and Paul Roark. The UltraTones, while still in 
the testing stages, are showing remarkable results across the 
board with respect to tonality choices and full scale richness. 
Roark's curves are better than ever. Thanks to his selfless R&D 
a bain I had with using the Epson driver, that of micro dots, has 
disappeared. My prints are dotless and the gradations superb. 

I urge anyone new to or considering high-end B/W inkjet printing 
to consider MIS ink a standard, and to those already on board to 
try the UltraTones.
