Paul,
An old thread, but just what I was looking for. I recall having seen it some time ago ... took some searching!
I have a question on this:"Note that the MIS toner follows my more recent 25% color pigments to 75% base mix. In the initial Eboni VT inkset I used a 10% color to 90% base dilution. To adjust the profiles that used only 10% color pigs, divide the QTR ink load by 2.5. The ink load adjustment and the amount of color ink in the toner are (inversely) proportionate."
So, if I use the MIS toner with the curves with VT in their name, I simply have to use this toner as is? I mean, I don9;t need to change its dilution at all? How do I know whether the profiles I'm using are the original 10-90 or the newer 25-75? (I mix my own, btw. using Eboni 1.1 and base b).
Thank you,
Paul (W)
PS: I do wish we were on a more up-to-date forum platform... so hard to search and find key information here. Certainly not your fault!

Hi Paul W.
The original 1430 Eboni Variable Tone was designed for the more dilute toner -- 10% color pigs to 90% base. The MIS toner used my later, stronger toner that is 25% color. So, if you use the MIS toner, you should adjust the original 2015 profiles to put in less color. That is just an ink load adjustment -- dividing the toner ink load by 2.5 and saving the curve. It should not alter the profile or performance, except that it will be putting less base (mostly water) on the paper, which is good.
I hope this helps. (I regret that I have not had the time to go back and do this adjustment and test a new set of profiles.)
Paul
