I agree, cyan alone can't do it.

In the original FSN it was a set ration of cyan to magenta.  For the UT-FSN
I went to R800 blue & cyan.  The ratios of the two change from highlights to
shadows.  Note how the more cyan and relatively less magenta is used in the
sample "neutral" profile I posted at
http://home1.gte.net/res0a2zt/4K-7500-Kirkland.jpg .

So, a key to my new 7500 setup is that both a dilute very light cyan and
standard light magenta are used.  This gives me the same type of control I
get in the UT-3D inkset (except easier).
