New UT curves for 1280 - downloaded

2003-07-01 by Jack M Kucy

I seem to have a problem with the new curves.  I downloaded them, tried to
follow all instructions and when I print the gray wedge using  UT80-N I 
can't
get consistent neutral gray across the wedge.  Some areas are very blue 
(60-90)
and the other very worm (with the pick about 25-35). I might have been doing
something completely wrong or... I got no idea.
I did even an experiment and printed the wedge (converted to RGB) which
I "color balanced" with magenta (to activate the cool ink) as follows:
shadows 0, -5, 0;  mid tones 0, -15, 0;  highlights 0, -10, 0.
It gave me wedge print of nice, consistently neutral gray.  
------
Can anyone summarize the workflow with these curves?  
I would appreciate that.
Thanks
Jack
