CARBONPRINT - Black & White pure with Photo-, Tank- & Largeformat Printers
Carbonprint is an ink product based on carbon pigments, to which no or only minimal amounts of color pigments are added. This achieves an extremely high durability of the prints, assuming the use of correspondingly long-term stable papers. Carbonprint is therefore the perfect solution for photographers with a preference for matte papers and prints in a natural warm, warm-neutral, or neutral black tone. Carbonprint is compatible with all purely matte photo and fine art papers without glossy coatings.
How to print?
The user replaces the color cartridges of his Epson® printer with the ink cartridges filled with carbon print, or, if using a tank printer, the tanks are filled with the respective gray inks according to the instructions. The tanks should be clean, without any color ink residue. Depending on the printer model, some cleaning procedures may need to be performed to transport the ink to the print head. The printer is now ready for fine art prints with carbon print. Send an image file to the printer as a desaturated RGB or grayscale file and it will output as a rich black and white image. You don't have to learn complicated software, just print your photos the way you're used to.
For advanced users, there is an optional possibility to use pre-made or custom ICC profiles. This allows for optimizing the tonal values to your printer, ink, and paper combination in the print.
