Digital BW, The Print

The UT-3D inkset does not need the LK either.  So, you could save that spot
for whatever you'd like.

 

The 3D-M is the main ink for black generation.  Use mostly it and some of
the C (dark carbon) to get the tone where you want it.

 

You're on your own for the curves, however.  I set the C and M channels
first and then move the lighter Y (a axis) ink to where I want it.

 

Hope it works for you.

Could I anticipate that the same would be true for UT-3D? In other words,
could I take a UT7 curve, continue leaving out LK, make the appropriate
tonal adjustments and the re-linearize? For reference, the UT7 Enh Matte
warm curve uses K, C and LC and the cool curve uses K, M and LM. 

Conversly, would QTR curves for both UT7 and UT-3D potentially benefit from
including LK? I guess I'm unclear as to where the density of LK sits,
relative to C and LC.

Which inks are combined to handle K on glossy media, and how? I understand
that PK is not required.

I think I'm out of, or almost out of questions. ;-)

Thank you,

Terry.
