Re: [Digital BW] R220 ink suggestions

2007-01-15 by Howard Shaw

I would try either the UT7 Sepia or UT-3D Lab A toner if you wanted to 
experiment with either sepia or selenium type toning respectively. 
Alternatively, if you wanted a lighter ink to give you a quadtone set 
up, you could try UT-FS-Y. That would give you a similar tone in the 
highlights to the warm R2 inks and a split tone effect if used with the 
Neutral inks.

As a matter of interest did you ever use UT-FSN inks and if so how does 
the tones of the UT-R2 Neutral inks compare?
