Re: Eboni Variable Tone updates

2016-02-10 by rdeloe1@...

Hopefully Paul R will jump in and offer corrections if I get this wrong (I'm also on the learning curve).

The "warm" curve is simply the "neutral" curve with the Y position set to "Not Used", and then re-linearized. With Eboni 1.1, Paul has determined that Y isn't needed anymore (which makes space for the blue toner in the "neutral" curve). I've printed with only the warm curve, and it's a like a slightly warmer version of 6 position Eboni 1.0 (i.e., with the 2% dilution Y position) -- but it's just a bit warmer.

You need the C and the B Canon Lucia inks. I confess I was so excited to try this approach that I bought both -- at $150... I now have a very large supply of toner base to use up! I hope it lasts a good long time. I'm glad you raised this though: I was wondering if the same ink is used in smaller Canon tanks or cartridges. That might be both more economical and less wasteful.
