Re: [Digital BW] Best Rip for 2200

2005-04-16 by john dean

Some of my favourite curves for UC- QTR- and a 9600 so far are:

50c / 50w - a warm neutral

70c/ 30W - a neutral

80w/20c - a warm

75w/25 sepia - a light sepia

70 sepia/30 warm - a significant sepia

65 sepia / 35 cool - a cooler sepia

I am using the Photo Rag curves on both Innova Soft Cotton and Smooth Texture
Every paper is a little different. My preference is to stay away from papers with optical 
brighteners when making the sepia tones. I did a job last week on the Innova Smooth 
Texture that was 44x44 using that 70/30 sepia combination and my client loved them. 
Not too yellow, just right for me.

I haven't had time to find a great selenium tone combinatoin. Hopefully soon.

John
