Digital BW, The Print

David, The Sepia Ink set from Cone on the Bottom has 4 set dilutions. If the
sets were altered from their original dilutions, the test should have
indicated such, so the information included should be from the "as sold" ink
supply. At least that is the way I read the information posted. The ABW for
K3 inks does need a little in term of settings used to be an event that you
could match, but these were not seen by eyes reading the jpg.

Where can I find information on how to read this?

rg-imaging.com/ is providing us with information that is way beyond what
we've had before. Please help support this resource.

color inks do best. It's the most rational way to find out about the
longevity of competing inks, including those that we might want to use as
toners for our carbon + color inksets. To make such an inkset, no mixing is
needed. Anyone can throw 4 carbs into a printer, add the light colors of
choice, and use QTR to control the best inkset possible for your particular
preferences. 

Excuse my ignorance, but anyone can throw which four inks into what kind of
printer? And where would one get said "light colors of choice"? Do I
understand correctly that it would be possible for me to put together my own
largely carbon inkset that would allow me to vary brown tone to most any
degree I desire? Please be specific or point me to where I might find this
information. I've done all the inventing I am going to do but if I can get
where I want to go by simply pouring inks into bottles and driving software,
I am all for it.

TIA
