Re: tri-color gum at last
Hi Keith, My current pigment choice looks promising in getting neutral and dark blacks. Maybe it's too early to decide (because I still haven't manage to balance the pigments), but the ruined prints have nice deep "neutral looking" blacks (not too brownish or too purplish) with the pigments below: Cyan : PB15:3 - Phtalocyanine Blue Magenta: PV19 - Quinacridone Red Yellow : PY151 - Benzimidazolone (All semi-transparent, semi-staining pigments) Have you tested these together before? If yes, I'd like to hear your experience. Regards, Loris. 24 Eylül 2008, Çarşamba, 6:44 pm tarihinde, Keith Gerling yazmış: > Even more impressive then.
