Digital BW, The Print

John,

Try cooling off your MIS-FS Standard inks by adding in some MIS-FS Neutral inks which are bluish. This way you will not have to worry about changing the density of the inks.

I did 80/20 and 50/50 FSN/FSS blends. The 80/20 was still on the cool side of neutral and the 50/50 was just on the warm side of neutral. You might want to try a 25/75 blend but I suggest you load this into cartridges for trial runs before you commit to a whole CIS full.

Wedges of these blends I tried are in the Files section of the group homepage in folder:

Files > Ink Sets, reviews and techniques > MIS FS

  Paul - Yes, I could do that, but my bottles are still quite full, and I
  occasionally use the Piezography driver.  I only want a little cooling,
  and never a warmer look.  Which of the inks needs the blue added to it,
  or do they all?  Thanks --- John.

  Yes, but it would be easier and better to just buy some FS-N and purge
  the
  old inks out of the system.
