Digital BW, The Print

Hey everyone, 

I was wondering if there was a way to get a sample of the MIS carbon inks... at least one, but ideally on a few different papers. Cone has sample cards that are seriously overpriced, but at least I was able to get an idea of what a real life print would like look. Is there something similar with MIS? OR would someone using those inks be willing to let me send them a file or do a print for me? 

Thanks!

Stephen

Its not as good as real prints, but I have a number of papers and inks scanned and posted in a public folder on Skydrive, http://sdrv.ms/197H9qB. You are welcome to take a look. If there is anything of particular interest I could do a test print for you in C-6 or UT-14. You may need to send me some paper, if you have a particular type you want to test. I have a good stock of Red River papers.

Have you asked MIS for samples?

Failing that, I recommend buying an 8x10 print from an expert printmaker on this forum like Paul Roark, specifying the ink-set you're interested in trying yourself. His work is excellent, inspirational, and reasonably priced.
