MIS MIXES

2002-09-10 by bobenland

I have tried some combinations of the MIS FS and FS-N inks on a 3000 
using Piezo v5.13 driver.

Set No. 1
Yellow = 100% FS
Magenta = 70% FS / 30% FS-N
Cyan = 20% FS / 80% FS-N
Black = FS

Here I was looking for warm to cool split tone effect.
And also looking for the longevity of the black
and cyan position inks that Paul created with FS-N.
After 4 days in brilliant sun I have close to what I
wanted... (unlike Piezo inks - need to encourage these along)

Will probably change cyan position for this set to:
100% FS-N for even more color contrast (and longevity?)
The yellow (lightest) ink with piezo driver seems
carry well up into the darker tones... say 75%.

Set No. 2
Yellow = 100% FS-N
Magenta = 70% FS / 30% FS-N
Cyan = 20% FS / 80% FS-N
Black = FS

Same mixes except changing FS-N for FS in the yellow position.
Very neutral to my eye. Reducing the FS-N amounts from
the full-bore FS-N set calmed the blue down just enough.

Both sets work well with the V5.13 piezo profiles.

Thanks
Bob
