Re: [Digital BW] UT-FSN compared to VM-N

2005-08-11 by Mark Hahn

Thanks Paul!  But I don't quite understand the reply.  I have results 
from the original VM neutralinks/curves, am I to understand that on EEM 
the UT-FSN will be cooler than the VM-N was?  If I go with the UT-FSN I 
would probably be printing on Moab Entrada Bright White or Natural if I 
went with the UT-FS.  From my VM experience, I found that the MW or W 
curves didn't nessacrily work better, but that the warm tone made for a 
much more forgiving print when it came to posterization etc... in truth 
I'd prefer a harsher neutral print if my 1160 is capable of producing 
smooth gradients with no posterizations using the UT-FSN inkset.
