RE: [Digital BW] Latest variable-tone inkset

2003-09-02 by Daniel Staver

This sounds really interesting!

Wonder if it would work on a 2100? I had a look at your ink mixtures and
I have all the inks available, except you mention a MIS UT sepia toner
for the Y position. Where did that one come from? I can't recall seeing
a sepia toner in the UT inkset. Is it possible to mix from the MIS 7600
color inks?
