Re: UT-3D, Fiba Print Gloss, Lens Work warm profile

2006-05-31 by Richard Cooke

Paul,

I wasn't very clear in my oringal post - sorry about that but I'm
trying to figure out how to work with the UT-3D inkset in my 2200 so I
think a better way to ask this might be required.

In your PDF "http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Profiling%20UT-3D.pdf"  you
state:

"In general, moving a point down increases the amount of ink. So, Red
(C = Carbon) moved down makes the print warmer, up cooler. Green (M =
Main cool toner) moved down makes the print cooler, up warmer."

What does the Blue curve do?

What would help me wrap my head around this whole concept is what inks
are being manipulated by the Red curve?  Green curve? and Blue curve?
 Or is it not that simple?  I'd ultimately like to be able to print to
EEM and Innova PhotoSmooth and also to the Kirkland glossy with the
warm toned Lenswork look.  I will certainly use your 220 curves as a
starting point but the mystery of which specific inks are used to make
the warm tones will help me out.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Richard Cooke
