Digital BW, The Print

Paul,
 
Thanks as always for your time on an answer for a well running but older system. I'll set the R1800 up the following way, putting in the original idea of the 2% instead of a toner at Y, and see how it goes:

2% 
6%
9%
MK
MK
18%
30%
MK

And definitely Yes, QTR is the easier way to go.

Jerry

       I note that the ink order
 below includes a toner.  I think my initial comment to the
 OP was about ink order related to Eboni-6, which I read as
 not including a toner.  I am not sure my "follow the
 color wheel" approach to make Eboni-6 on this class of
 printer (which I believe to be in the same general family as
 the old R1800) Epson driver compatible will work if there is
 a toner in the inkset.  I probably posted some profiles for
 Eb6 in the R1800 that assumed 2% MK in Y.  Those profiles
 will cause the highlights to be way too cool if Y has a
 light blue toner in it.  
 With the standard hextone
 printers, the blue Photoshop curve can easily control yellow
 position ink.  Thus my recent variable tone inksets usually
 work very well with that toner position.  And if I had an
 R2000, I'd still start with the color wheel
 positioning.  It may take some experimenting to see how the
 setup works with the toner, however.  The Epson drivers for
 these printers that include more than the standard CMY
 colors don't fit the Photoshop curves model as directly
 as the hextone printers.
 QTR control is almost
 always the easier way to go.
