Time Saving B&W Options
Do you mix various components to create a base for Black & White printing? I'm sure you will be interested in trying something new that will save you not only money- but more importantly, time. Now there is a better option to purchasing various components individually and mixing on your own- MIS is now offering generic premixed bases for Black & White printing, including those needed for dye base inks. You will save time and money using these formulations and produce the same result you’re used to seeing when doing it on your own.

High Contrast Black and White From Color
There are many techniques that can be used to convert a color image to grayscale using Adobe Photoshop. The
numerous techniques lead to endless discussion on which is best.
Inksupply.com has created 2 pdf documents that outline two techniques that will allow for more control over the
conversion compared to simply clicking on Image > Mode > Grayscale in Photoshop. While there are many
other methods to create a grayscale image, experts disagree on which method is best.
Note that these techniques are not necessarily needed when printing with MIS Black and White inks. Please use the appropriate workflow for your inkset.
