RE: [Digital BW] Latest B&W inkset - HPR neutral curve

2006-02-08 by Paul Roark

Although this first Photo Rag curve
(http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Curves_220_HPR_N_MHW_CC.jpg) let the shadows
go slightly warm.  A second one with more points in the shadows is
neutralized to L 30 and then rolls off to (25, .16, .66), half way to the
maximum b* of 1.2 at L 20.

Visually, I'm not sure that I like the more neutral shadows, but it can be
done with this inkset.  With a more radical curve and "No Color Adjustment"
in the driver, the ramp could be further neutralized.
