Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul..

I understand it may be pre-mature, but would you anticipate the "new" 1430 curves/profiles dispensing with the glop in the "Y" position , and substituting with the LC would also be useable on the 1400?

THX!

  I have been in touch with MIS/Inksupply.com, and I think we're in agreement
  on a few points. First, MIS will mix and sell a UT14 "LLC" -- a lighter
  neutral/cool ink. This may not be needed for the 1400/1430, but I help a
  fair number of people put together custom inksets for k3 machines, and we
  really need that LLK equivalent neutral/cool ink. So, this is good news.
  I'll be sampling the new ink soon.

  Also, I've proposed a new "UT1430." I'll have to do some testing to see
  what works best, but my inclination is to simply use the current UT14 LC in
  the Y position and dump the glop. MIS inks already use glop as their base.
  With proper paper selection, there is only minor bronzing. I think the Y
  position is way more useful as a second neutral/cool ink for greater
  smoothness. If there is a new UT1430, I'll make new profiles that take
  advantage of the setup. When I made the UT14 inkset I overestimated the
  degree to which users would make and share profiles. So, this time I'll
  have more support in the sense of pre-made profiles and curves that can be
  easily adapted to new papers. I think it's important for there to be a
  well supported and cheaper alternative to the K3 "ABW" approach.
