Subject: [Digital BW] UT1 on Premier Art - Paul, please help...


Question to Paul Roark:

Dear Paul,
I chose the Premier Art Fine Art paper 325 gms as "my paper".
It's heavy, just a little creamy. It's got double sided coat, and the
prints look really smooth and continuous tone.
I use the UT1 with CIS on my 1280. After switching to Ebony
I have no clogs anymore.
I downloaded both available curves:
neutral - UT80_PA_N1.acv,
and warm - UT80_PA_W1.acv

Neutral is like selenium prints - but it's not neutral - it's bluish 
greenish.
Is there any way to make it really neutral? with no bluish cast?

I printed a few prints with no curves at all (after converting to RGB).
I understand that doing so not all inks participate in the process of 
printing -
but what actually happens when I print without the curves?
When I printed the wedge I noticed that the light patches were a bit grainy
- coincidence or a fact?
So, I know that something is not right - but is there any way to make this
really neutral tone of the print?

I would appreciate help in that. I do not have a densitometer to check the
patches by myself (yet).
-----
I like the warm curve - it makes my desert images looking outstanding.

Thanks,
Jack
