Re: [Digital BW] MIS FS Hex Solution

2001-10-30 by Rodolpho Pajuaba

This is something I was wondering since a few days ago, and I think it fits
perfectly with this subject (I think): As long as none of the quadtone
inksets actually uses 6 inks (well, if they did, they\ufffdd bem called hextone,
OK?), is this possible to keep the inks of the other cartridges, or fill
with other ones, to achieve some tonal variation? If one wants cooler tones,
increase cyan, if want warmer tones, increase yellow, or even if wants
deeper blacks, fill with black, and draw some transfer function curves for a
given configuration.
Am I that insane, or what?
