Her is a response Paul put out some time ago for a request for cool curves: "I agree cool curves would be good, but I have not had time to making them yet. I explained how to adjust the neutral curve for warmer or cooler prints in my Readme file. Basically, just make offsetting moves of the cyan and magenta inks (red and green curves). The one cool curve I did make, for PermaJet's Oyster paper, moved the neutral Red curve down (adding more ink) 18 at 63 (that is, from (63, 93) to (63, 75), 32 at 127 (the mid point), and 41 at 191. I moved the green curve up 22 at 63, 37 at 127, and 46 at 191. That curve also has some shadow point below 63 that had some offsetting moves. The changed above took the tone from neutral to 0.06 units cool. (Carbon is 0.10 warm for comparison.) I think about 0.06 units cold is getting close to as cool as I'd want to go and still have a "normal" looking print. If you go too far the print starts looking blue instead of gray" QTR also has cool curves that are quite cool. Hope this helps Peter
