Daniel,

Now I am a little confused.  I am using the UC inkset in a 2200.  Are 
you saying the density of ALL INKS relate back to equivalent K patch 
with the same density, regardless of color?  I was under the impression 
(perhaps a false one) that you would do the following:

LK density is based on the density of the equivalent patch of the K ink.

C, M and Y inks would not have any density input (left blank).

LC density is based on the equivalent density patch of the Cyan ink.

LM density is based on the equivalent density patch of the Magenta ink.

Is this right or wrong? 

Thanks,  

Lou
