Digital BW, The Print

With this new setup, I've found for each paper I like to make 2 profiles with QTR.  One is with the 100% Eboni inks, and the other is with the HP-PK inks used as the  midtones, making a neutral-cool profile.  Then when I print I can use the sliders to blend the tones as needed, including split tones or even ones.

The linked graph shows the tones of Arches BW with a 50-50 blend of Eboni and HPPK:  http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Arches-EbHP-tones.jpg

It makes a very neutral image on a somewhat creamy paper.

By the way, I might add that this un-coated paper rarely as the flaking issues of the coated ones.  It also spots very easily, being made for watercoloring.  I tend to use a lighter shade of the ink with either a very small brush of round toothpick.
