Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I'm hoping Paul Roark can help me with this one. Now thanks to such 
nice software as QTR and IJC/OPM I feel bolder to experiment with 
more inksets.

Here's what I'm hoping to achieve: use only a subset of the UT2 or 
UT7 inkset in a 4-color printer - mainly for the ability to print 
from warm to cool with sepia as a toner.

I created a profile for the 1160 that uses only black and medium 
gray from the MIS VM inkset and thought I got very excellent and 
almost dotless gradients. So I thought maybe I can do the same thing 
using only black and a blend between cyan and magenta positions from 
the UT2 or UT7 inksets to achieve the same thing. Then I can add the 
yellow position for the sepia option.

Paul, do you think I can achieve this? How do you compare the 
density of the VM medium gray and the UT2/7 cyan and magenta inks? I 
may just purchase a few ounces of each of these inks to experiment 
for myself.

Thanks in advance,
--nick
