Digital BW, The Print

Oh, I don't know about that. Ultrachome K2 scratches very easily if
not sprayed, just as bad or worse than the CF inks and worse than the
Lyson inks I used to use. That is one of the reasons I'm still
spraying :( . The neutral Cone inks on the other hand are very tough.
Apparently Ebony is too, as well and the K3 UC.
