2100/2200 Ultratone curves in the files section

2003-11-02 by Daniel Staver

My set of curves for the 2100/2200 with MIS Ultratones is now placed in
the files section.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/files/Ink%20S
ets/MIS/MIS%20Ultra%20Tone%20Inks/

Files > Ink Sets > MIS > MIS UltraTone Inks > Ultratone 2100 Curves.zip

They are NOT compatible with the 2200 Ultratone inkset that MIS are
currently selling on their web-pages. I don't believe that setup can
work with a curve-based workflow.

You'll need the following inks:

Black position:		Eboni Black
Light Black position:	Archival 7600 Light Black
Cyan position:		Ultratone Cyan
Light Cyan position:	Ultratone Light Cyan
Magenta position:		Ultratone Magenta
Light Magenta position:	Ultratone Light Magenta
Yellow position:		Ultratone Yellow

In other words I'm using the same ink positions as the other hextone
printers, but with an added light black in the that position.

I spent yesterday morning creating a new neutral warm curve, so my set
of curves should now be complete with warm, neutral warm, neutral and
cool curves. All of the curves are based on Paul Roark's 1290 curves,
but only the warm curve is a direct translation. The others are
composites, made from several different layers of curves and adjustments
layers which I've merged into a single new curve once I was happy with
them. This probably means that these three curves won't match the 1290
curves in tone, since I've pretty much adjusted the tones according to
my own preferences.

I'd be happy to recieve feedback and comments on the curves, and I'll do
my best to improve them if there is anything specific you'd like to see
changed.
