UT14 Glossy 100% Carbon Prints that are Neutral

2009-02-12 by Randy Rancier

This question is directed at Paul, but feel feel to chime in with your knowledge and 
experience.

Paul, as you mention in your white paper on the UT14 inkset I would like develop a OTR 
curve and icc  with the UT14 inkset on the current baryta fiber based glossy papers such as 
ILFORD Gold Fibre Silk (IGFS) that are neutral.  I have recently become familiar with QTR, but I 
am not sure as how to set up the profile.  You were not specific on the nuts and bolts, but 
you did mention that you use the Eboni, glop and PK ink form the inkset.  It also sounds as 
though the PK is used for the darker tones and pure black, so I'm assuming that the Eboni is 
more neutral in tone and  is used for the highlights and mid-tones; you also mention that 
glop is used to hold the Eboni down, as I know from experience that Eboni on glossy paper 
will smear even after it is dry.

Do you have a QTR curve available for this setup?  If I need to develop my own what do I use 
as far as ink limits for the Eboni and the crossover points.  Also, I don't know the procedure 
for applying the GLOP along with the Eboni.

Any assistance is appreciated.
