Re: [Digital BW] Variable Tone Inks - Update

2001-08-15 by sdmey4@aol.com

Mike great news! And congrats to Paul. I'am dying to hear more!
How does the neutral tone compare to piezo? Is the warm tone goal to be like 
piezo or warmer?
After Printing with Piezo myself for over a year everything looks cold to me 
too, which makes the varible tone a little scarey at this point. I do not 
have the Varible tone inks loaded
in My 7000 yet but I'am almost ready. Are these curves paper sensitive? 
meaning a change of paper throws everything off?
 I'am just taking some time to explore the standard set of Hextones, see what 
I can do before I explore Variable tone land.
I would think the varible tone set would be less prone to any shift in tone a 
few weeks down the road.
Good news about the 500ml tanks also, Thanks for the report.
Steve M.

 After a marathin session with Paul Roark, the Neutral Curve looks 
 really good (my opinion, hope Paul agrees). The Warm Curve is at mid-
 stage and needs a bit of work. 
 
 At first I though that the neutral curve was just "so cold" it was 
 blue. I guess after printing with Piezo for the past year everything 
 looks cold to me. But, I just finished printing an image with the 
 last iteration of the curve and I must say that I am truly impressed.
 
 Lovely continuous tones, smooth textures, and no sign of dots.
