Digital BW, The Print

I have uploaded two profiles to make extremely warm sepia prints with the 
2200 using OPM.

You can find them in our Files section inside the IJC/OPM folder.
 

These have been made for EAM paper and the matte black (MK). They 
produce a respectable 1.71 dmax.

 Since the white of that paper clashes so much with the warm sepia, I would 
advise that you tint the paper in a separate pass using these profiles and a tint 
anywhere from  5-20% (tint-to-taste, the three Ts of toning).  Anyone with IJC 
can have fun using these as a basis to produce variations, of course. 

For the record: the automatic linearization feature of IJC was NOT used for 
these since it doesn't distinguish between gray and toner inks. They were 
linearized "by hand" to within +-0.01 of the aims. Of course, that may only hold 
true for my printer and only on that day!...


These do use a fair amount of yellow ink along with magenta in the mix - in 
case anyone has concerns about either metamerism or longevity. They were 
initially made to match a vintage print that was being restored - which gives 
you an idea of the kind of tone I was after. 

There are 2 profiles:
One ends with   _xSEP_01.6 and is the "normal" profile - marked with an x for 
extreme sepia (!) .
The other marked  _xSEPy1_01.6  is marked with a y1 to indicate increased 
yellow.  I was going to make variations with even more yellow, but found that I 
was already in overkill territory.

These two together can be blended nicely in OPM to fine-tune the degree of 
yellow.

Just in case anyone is in the mood for that extra-antique look!....
