RE: [Digital BW] Re: UT2 cold tones not very cold

Pieris,

You won't get very cold with the sliders.  Start with the cool curve for the
paper you're using (be sure you're driver is in the No Color Adjustment
mode) and move the green curve up substantially.  Then move the red curve
down about an equal amount.  The cyan ink is very cold, so with a proper
curve I suspect it'll get plenty cold for you.

I received from Paul a scan of the nozzle test pattern with/without 
cold curves applied, and it matches exactly what I'm seeing. So I 
know my inks are good. I will work with the sliders to try to get a 
cooler tone. I'll let you know what I find.
