I've only seen one print from these inks and the black was not very black,

the colors were excellent."

Jerry, I think that's the consensus. I don't have a spectro, so haven't
measured the black, but I think Bob Snow has.

The weaker black is not a big problem for me balanced against the lack of
metamerism and the excellent gamut. There's always a trade off somewhere,
no?

I am still testing and getting comfortable with the inks and various papers,
trying to decide what I will standardize on. I really like the output on
Epson semimatte, but dislike the hassle of a lengthened drying time and the
need to spray.
