Digital BW, The Print

Hi..

I'm using a UT14 settup with MIS UT14 inks, , and NO PK ink is used all..

EBONY ONLY goes into the K slot, and is used ONLY when the curve/profile calls for MATTE type paper....

  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!!!!
