R220 with UT7

2005-12-02 by Paul Roark

I tried putting UT7 in the R220, except that I put carbon (UT7 LC) in the Y
position.  With no curves of other adjustments and the driver on "Color
Controls," the setup prints a good ramp that is just slightly warm on EEM.

 

What I was really interested in is what range the system could get with the
sliders for tone (hue) and then using an ICC made with Roy's "Create ICC" to
get the ramp "straight."  With the sliders all the way to 25 the ramp just
looked too bad to deal with.  However, with moderate settings that still
resulted in very distorted shadow tones the ICCs were able to give excellent
ramps - quite an impressive performance for this ICC approach.  The tone
range was from slightly cool (Lab b = -1.5) to medium warm, about like the
FS inks (b = 2.7).  It's not a large range, but a very useful one for those
who might want to set up a CFS with and have the ability to easily have more
than one tone and linearize the systems themselves.
