R2 Variable Tone - New Article

2006-06-05 by Clayton Jones

Hello All,

I have finally completed my testing with the MIS UT-R2 inks for the
R200/220.  My initial results have just been posted as article #10 at
the link below.  It describes how to make a variable tone inkset using
a combination of R2-W and R2-N inks that can be controlled with the
slider controls in the Epson driver.  I'm very pleased with the
results and have created a set of sample prints that closely match the
BO versions on the same papers, so they can be compared strictly on
technical merits.

I don't have a 220, so would be very interested to hear from any 220
users who try this approach.  I'm interested in whatever differences
there might be.

I also have not tried it with PK on any of the new Silver Rag type
papers (still waiting for cut sheets).  So I'll be very interested in
hearing from anyone who tries this.

Regards,
Clayton
