Digital BW, The Print

With EEMand a 2200 printer I've been using cool on the left, warm on the
right and the blend set to 75. The results look pretty neutral to my eyes
(using MIS Eboni for the black ink).  If my wife will ever get off the only
computer in the house on which I was able to install QTR and GUI I plan to
experiment more but for now the result has been sufficiently neutral to me.
I compared the prints made that way to the same prints on the same printer
and paper made with BO and from a neutrality standpoint they looked very
close to identical to my eyes. Whether either is "perfectly neutral" I'm not
sure, I don't have anything perfect to compare them to but they definitely
are more neutral than the cool alone and much much more netural than I was
getting from MIS VM and UT2 inks on a 1280 towards the end of my days of
using those inks.

Subject: [Digital BW] Neutral Curve for QTR



Hi, I've recently installed QTR for XP and notice that there is no neutral
curve. I wondered what people had found the best mix of tones was to get a
perfectly neutral curve for EEM/HPR?

I've just experimented with 25% cool Selenium and 75% Warm and with small
prints, and it looks pretty good. However, I've found that with 10x15"
prints any slight tonal bias becomes much more noticeable.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks,
Richard
