Hi Sergei,

I'm collecting all the stuff I need to get going on warmed HPPK inks so I've no results yet. I am very interested in the effect of the two warm toners. Do you feel you really need them? 

My intuition would be to go for 5 HPPK (100% - 50% - 25% - 12%  - 6%) and only one warm toner (as Paul suggested earlier, a slightly diluted LK). That would allow for a strategy mith multiple overlaping HPPK curves, much like the Cone curves do, reducing artifacts in the curve transitions.

Did you try what happens if you use just one ot the two warm toners?

On the other hand, I note that Mike has yet another approach and is cutting back on the medium density (50% - 33%) inks in favor of a low density one. Interesting....
