Archival Black and White Printing
January 19, 2009For the past few months I have been printing my black and white photographs using carbon pigment ink from MIS associates. This is a third party ink provider. My Eboni black and white ink works in my Epson R800 photo printer. There are three dilutions of the MIS Eboni carbon pigment ink that I can use to make pure carbon-black photographs, and I still can maintain the Epson color inks to use the printer for both black and white and color prints. With printers other than the R800 or R1800, in order to use such carbon pigment, non-dye-based black and white inks, one must remove all the color inks and replace them with various shades of gray.
