The 2000p is a fairly standard 6 ink printer, as I recall. As such, the 3880 formula, dropping the LK and LLK, of course, should work. A very normal dilution step between a dark ink and a lighter ink is: light ink = 30% dark ink + 70% dilution base. Having the light ink be 33.3% (1/3) the density of the darker ink is close enough and works very well. The Y is flexible. It's a great place for a light blue toner to cool the warm (yellowish) carbon, or it can be a repeat of one of the light carbon positions if you want 100% carbon.

Hello Paul,
I am trying to remember what I did .. 15+ years ago.When I apply the MIS FS .acv profiles, I transform the BW into a KCMYcolor file .. It is obvious the C and M equate to quite different darkness levels - I just am not able to understand were the LC and LM fit in a hex set.Should I try a mix based on your 3880 formulaLM = 6% MK (Eb6-LM)16M = 18% MK (Eb6-M)LC = 9% MK (Eb6-LC)C = 30% MK (Eb6-C)LK = 18% MK (Eb6-M)LLK = 6% MK (Eb6-LM)K = 100% MK (Eb6-K)using perhapsK = 100C = 30M = 18LC & LM = 9 ?Y = 6 ?I don9;t remember the old 2000P Hex dilution ratios.Alex
