Randy/Paul/Anyone who can help
Its a steep learning curve and these threads help a lot, having said 
that all the terminolgy used confuses the beginners, I am sure. If I 
understand correctly the UT14 uses
1. Photoblack (PK)in the K slot
2. GLOP in Y position
3. M/LM/C/LC ( all diluted blacks or carbon as they say say!!!, I 
presume), when you say "no Eboni" on gloss paper does it mean "no K"? 
Therefore on gloss simply use the M/LM for warm and C/LC for Cool. Am 
I right? 
Further, to bring in "GLOP" on MATT (to keep the K down as said in 
Paul's thread) paper if a COPY_CURVE_Y=K is included in the ink desc 
file will it follow the PK ink? OR AM I TOTALLY ON THE WRONG TRACK!!!!
