Digital BW, The Print

JK,

You are correct.  I am using the slider in QTRgui... and it doesn't
matter which way I pull the slider or how far or what items I have
selected for the combo boxes at each end of the slider.  I still end
up with the same warm tone on my print.  Granted the print is
beautiful, but I can't control the tone.

FYI, the MIS UT inkset provides four colors -- one cyan, two shades of
warm grey and one black.  This allows you to create tones ranging from
cool to warm.  

I started out by using Paul Roark's curves in Photoshop but after a
couple of months of trial and error, I still can't control the dot
gain so I thought I give QTR a try.  

Best regards,

Edwin
