Modified Ultratone inkset for the 2100

2003-09-09 by Daniel Staver

I mentioned in an earlier post that I tried replacing the Cyan position
with MIS-LK and the Photo Cyan position with MIS UT-Y. I got the idea
from one of the experimental inksets that Paul posted earlier, and it
seems to work very well.

In effect I'm actually only using three inks now, but I can't really
tell the difference, except for som very slight midtone dotting around
30%.

The curves required to balance the tones are much more gentle than full
separation curves, and the highlights stay dotless no matter what
adjustments you make. I've made a cool and a neutral warm curve for this
inkset now and might go on to make a warm curve as well. 

It's really easy to work with, and the results are great, so I might
actually stay with this for a while - At least until Paul finalizes his
dual-toner inkset...
