RE: [Digital BW] Re: Eboni 6 1400 tone

2009-01-10 by Gary Wagner

Paul,

Is there more detail and profiles available for 3Y3k? Do I use E6 yellow is
what cartridges and  E6 black in what cartridges on my 1400? 

 

Does this ink combination produce a cooler tone on a variety of matte
papers? 

 

Do you have any profiles that I could try for some papers? 

 

Thanks for your help.

Gary Wagner

I should add that the warmth with other papers is one reason I'm 
using the 3Y3K setup on my 1400. My favorite paper is the un-
brightened Premier Art Smooth 325. With it and the 3MK approach on 
the 1400, it's what I call perfectly neutral. The 3Y gives ultra-
smooth highlights and a bit of warmth. So, I balance the smoothness 
and warmth as needed for the particular image with QTR sliders, using 
2 profiles -- one 3MK and one 3Y-K.

See the tones of the two profiles here:

The QTR sliders simply allow me to dial in the tone-smoothness needed.
