Re: [Digital BW] Variable Tone Inks - Update

2001-08-15 by Jerry Olson

Agreed, AND you can use the epson magenta slider to add more or less blue to a curve to fine tune it to perfection. I prefer the Neutral curve now, with +20 Magenta in the toner slider (The magenta slider controls the amount of blue ink to the print).  This tone is perfect for me. Not blue, but
colder than neutral. a Beautiful tone indeed.

Jerry Olson is a blue kinda guy. He like cool, cool, cold! He can give you some input on the colder side of things.
