Re: Is anyone using MIS K4 inks for the R2400?

2006-03-20 by gguhangunaratnam

Thanks Peter, can you tell me what profiles you are using (your own?)

Your experience with bronzing is consistent with Carl on glossy
papers.  What about the fade resistance/archival quality compared to
the K3 inks?

And the price certainly is great.  I just don't want to have to
reprint due to fading.

I'm referring to colour photos.  For B&W and I assume I'd need to use
a RIP to only use the Eboni in BO fashion for best archival quality.

Thanks again
