Paul: "OBAs or "FWAs" and UT7

2004-11-21 by Clayton Jones

Hello Paul,

>Interesting issues -- these "OBAs."  

Thanks, for the reply.  Yes, lots of food for thought.  Especially
interesting about Ti02 and hydrogen.

OBAs seems to be one of the areas where we know the least, so I hope
our knowledge and understanding of it grows along with other things.

I've been wanting to ask you a question about UT7 - back in July I
began experimenting with it and am very pleased so far.  But I had to
suspend work shortly after in order to prepare for a business
conference in Europe which has now just taken place, so I hope to
return to my experiments soon.

The question is whether using curves (compared to using just the
sliders) will give more precise control over the contrast curve
(prevent too sudden drop-off into black - what I struggle with most),
or do the curves just give a wider range of color control?   I have
only used the sliders so far.

I am very impressed with UT7 - this family of inks is a major
achievement.  I marvel at the amount of work you have contributed to
the cause.  We all owe you a huge thanks.  I know it has been said but
I just wanted to add my chirp to the symphony.  Congrats and keep up
the good work!

Regards,
Clayton
