Re: [Digital BW] QTR neutral curve PKN, UT7 Light warm/cool grey

Yes but to be honest they are really useless.  How about a step wedge with
measured Lab data typed next to it.  A swab depends too much on how the
cotton bud deposits the ink.  Reading the swabs with DigitalColor Meter, I
get L readings of circa 28-30 for UT2 LM and circa 8-8.5 for UT2 M.  Reading
my own swabs I get L readings of around 28 for my UT2 LM and about 26 for my
UT2 M (which I am not using). I am fast coming to the conclusion that
someone whom MIS respects a great deal, eg Paul, needs to give them a real
slap re quality control.  I will take a look at my UT7 cool inks as well....
