The UT2 inkset uses M and LM for the untoned carbon gray inks and C and LC for the cool toner inks. A curve for matte paper would typically use K, M and LM for the carbon curve and K, C and LC for the cool toner curve. Then you would blend these two to get your desired tone. Of course there are many other ways to do it as well, but this could be a good starting point. Tom Husband wrote: > > I'm trying to make my first curve.
