Digital BW, The Print

Paul

Many thanks for your suggestion.  I may just give it a go!  The 3K set
should presumably be reasonably easy to profile in either QTR or IJC and
then it is just a matter of playing with toners to suit?

  Subject: RE: [Digital BW] R220 ink suggestions


  In addition to Howard's suggestions, I've been thinking of a light carbon
  ink with a bit of red in it to make a warm that is closer to hue 45 - less
  yellow than the pure carbon. This would really be just for those who like
  warm prints. By itself, 4% red mixed with the light carbon of the R2 or 3D
  sets makes a good warm. However, for better quality, we'd probably be
  better off with the carbon jets also working (in general, the more jets
  being active, the better). So, it may be that a stronger red mix would be
  better. I have not had time to experiment with they yet, however.

  In a CFS, you'll also have the large format issues with respect to non-use
  of the system being a problem. For this reason, I'll probably port the 4K+
  approach to the 220. In that type of non-blended approach, I suspect the
3K
  + light m, c and red might be interesting. As with the 50% LC, I might mix
  a more dilute R800 Red for that. This, of course, would take a rip to run.

  The bottom line I'm looking at is that a bit of red mixed with carbon
makes
  a very nice warm tone. It eliminates the yellow from the current sepia.
  The mix can't reach as deep a sepia, but it should be more lightfast and
  have less metamerism.

  Subject: [Digital BW] R220 ink suggestions

  I have been using my R220 with the MIS UT-R2 inkset with both Neutral
  and Warm cartridges now for some time but would like to convert to a
  CFS and bulk inks. As I like to be able to vary the tone of my images
  on an image by image basis (or even occasionally do split tones) I have
  considered using the warm inks in C/LC and the neutral inks in M/LM (or
  vice versa), however what should I put in the yellow spot? Is this
  approach sensible or should I just go for the UT-3D? I would drive
  either using QTR (or Bowhaus if it can drive the R220 - I haven't tried
  yet).

  Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.
