Well, relatively cool.  The 3D LK has about 2/3s the blue toner that is in
EZ-N.  The midtone Lab on Crane SR is (52, 1.1, 2.5).  The LLK is just
diluted LK.  

See my forum message # 78411 (7/13/06), which notes, in part:

"What I've tried to do is get a couple birds with one stone. The UT-3D LK
and LLK inks are blended B&W inks that are relatively neutral. They plus an
appropriate black ink can make a good B&W by themselves -- like a neutral
monotone B&W inkset, which they are. As such, with a rip you can print a
pure or mostly blended B&W with a k2 or k3 printer and avoid the color
dots."
