Default Re: black dye
Either the dye is not hot enough, or you didn't ano long enough. Black needs 1mil for a nice deep black.
If this is 6xxx series, and all your previous attempts were with 7xxx, there will be a difference. 7xxx will ano faster than 6xxx. Try about 25% more time if that's the case.
