Re: [Digital BW] Warm/Sepia toner for variable-tone inkset

2001-11-03 by Bill Morse

Paul, could you post the "Color Test" curve, or describe how it is written?

Also, how do you change out the different toners (I assume you're using a
CIS)? 

Thanks

Bill

To match the toner density, I use what I call my "Color Test" curve that
simply pours out 100% of each ink independently at different parts of the
21-step test file when it is printer with the curve.  Do that with the MIS
VM inkset first to get a standard, then simply match the toner density with
the brew you make.  After I've published a few formulas we'll get a sense of
what works to come close to that density (which is just a hair darker than
the MIS VM lightest gray ink).
