Joel, In addition to cost effectiveness, you need to know if you _like_ printing. If you enjoyed the technical aspects of the darkroom then you may do well ...
I don't mind spending long hours in the darkroom; I am perhaps more interested in printing digitally for repeatability (so I don't have to retouch the same...
I have a 2200 set-up with Septone inks. Happy with it. Does anyone know of commercially available large format Septone printing? I just need a few 16x20's...
Joel, ... I'll send you a file off list that has a scan of the UT2 inkset, that includes the carbon and sepia tones. The sepia spot -- one cart, the yellow ...
I'm using a couple of modified UT2 inksets; in one of them I've changed the sepia in the yellow position for FSN-y, and I've changed the Eboni for PKN; in the...
I now have the MIS 2400 ("K4") and full MIS PRO ("MP") inksets. One of the first things I noticed is that the K4 PK is not the same as the MP PK. The MP PK...
... The "pure carbon" inks are Eboni, PK (not PKN), M, LM, (not FSN-Y or even FS-Y). The lightest pure carbon in the MIS UT inkset family is UT1 quad M or Hex...
I need to modify the previous post. The R200 is part of the problem. With the MIS Pro Pk the C86 gets a great 2.34 dmax, and the C86 shows virtually no gloss...
I recently purchased some Ilford Heavyweight Matte paper to us to print some B&W photos I have been working on. I printed one using the Ilford profile, and it...

Hello Paul, ... I found a huge difference in print quality among the various paper type settings, have you tried different ones? Regards, Clayton Info on black...
I have a couple of boxes of Kirkland paper...might give the MIS PKN a try for 2200 BO printing of family snaps and such. Does the PKN get close to effectively...
Clayton's posts are ALWAYS valuable...it's obviously intentionally hurtful to describe any of his posts as "irrelevant and unhelpful." He is, after all, one of...
Hi. I've been using EZN prefilled carts for a while now and am quite satisfied with their performance, if a bit on the expensive side. Accordingly, I'm...
Al, The bottom of my Readme file on the C86 may be helpful to you. Let me know if any of those URLs is outdated. I've been working on the R200 for a couple of...
ALL: I couldn't agree more fully with John Kelly's statement below. Some of the posts on this subject such as the one below from Steve Kale have terribly ...
you are right on retouching, but digital printing is not quick---to do file prep right takes a lot of work. Then of course you "just push the button", a long...
That confirms what I had concluded about FS-Y. It is quite a bit more neutral than the UT7 LC for example and does not match that ink well. Paul, UT-HEX-4-Y...

I think that might not be true....it takes a certain amount of ink to make the image....If you use B.O, you just use more of the single ink. If you use 4 inks,...
There may be a misunderstanding here, I am not talking about doing BO on the 2400. I'm using the full K3 inkset in ABW mode. Please read the article for...
