Re: How Many Shades Of Gray - Dotless and Smooth Prints?

Tyler,

Which two  PIezzotone inksets do you like to blend for the most useful range 
of mono color?

I am getting my main board back tomorrow for my 7000 which hopefully then 
will be restored after my Lyson jelled with pigment disaster.

RIght now I have the Selenium Tone PT set in there and I will have this 
linearized with QTR. I realize you are using 7 total channels but, if I were to 
use the 2 additional channels  i will have for a toning pigment do you think it 
would do me any good or, just be more trouble than its worth? I am getting 
very good carbon sepia hues out of my 9600 with UCrome.

That is certainly possible, and an interesting idea. For now, I prefer
