Re: Eboni Variable Tone updates

2016-03-22 by paulmwhiting@...

Hello again, Andre,

I've had some time to study your response more carefully, your thorough answer merits more attention! I'm still a bit confused as to the sixth (yellow) position. Until you begin using the cooling toner, what does that cart contain? The original yellow ink? Cleaning fluid? Paul R.'s base fluid? And then when you create the 5-ink profile, do you simply leave that position unused? Paul warns against leaving the cart empty.

Sounds like you have yet to create a profile with the cooling toner... I'm holding back on that phase until I use up my Eboni 1.0. I wish MIS would package that blue and cyan in smaller less expensive quantities.

You must be using a spectrometer, right? Do you mind telling what brand/model you have and what it costs? I've developed (with considerable off-line help from a very kind group member) a way to linearize a profile using a flat-bed scanner. I've posted a pdf of that procedure in the group's file section.

Keep us posted as to your progress! I think we share a desire for simplicity... I'll stick with my Premier Art FineArt paper for now.

Thanks again,

Best Regards,

Paul W.
