Quad Black Toneable with 2100

2006-04-10 by nigel_roberson

Hi,

I have been using Lyson Quad Black Toneable for a while and recently 
upgraded to a CIS.

I have tried, with moderate success Epson Achival Black and various 
small quantities of Hahnemuhle Rag 308.

With so many papers to try I am not sure that I am getting the best 
out of the set up.I have tried a few sheets of Da Vinci Gloss, 
although that shows slight magenta casts in some areas, so I am not 
sure about trying this any more. Who else is using a similar setup 
and what paper are you using. 

In addition (my monitor is cal with a spyder) I find the untoned 
image on the warm side and have to add a cool curve to get it to 
nurtral. Is this me or does anyone else find the same?

Are the Lyson curves and Monitor profile good or are there better 
settings?

Regards

Nigel
