Glossy Carbon Variable tone project -- MIS PK clarification

Glossy Carbon Variable tone project -- MIS PK clarification

2016-04-12 by roark.paul@...

The PK that is listed on the MIS page https://www.inksupply.com/roarkslab.cfm is now what we used to call MIS "K4" PK. It is the product that was supplied by Image Specialists and is now supplied to MIS by STS Inks. All of the past MIS UT inksets used this product with great success. This is what my initial beta glossy carbon inkset will use.

Hi Paul

Are
you sure new Eboni Eb6 V1.1 is 100% carbon without color pigments?
and Eboni V1.1 is the same new WJ1082.

Dilutions Eboni6 were C: 30%, M: 18%, LC: 9%, SM: 6%, Y: 2%
Is the same values with Eboni6 V1.1?

Thanks you for your reply
(Excuse my poor English)

Yes, MIS Eboni v. 1.1 is 100% carbon (with clear base and dispersant, of course, but no color pigments or dyes) and known by the supplier as WJ1082. The dilutions are the same as the original Eboni-6, though with modern printers, I have tended to move away from the 2% -- really quite a bit more dilute than needed these days.
