Paul, love UT2

2004-01-24 by islandbuck2

Paul love the UT2 inkset but ironically am back to using it on EEM 
with eboni.  It didn't work well on Epson Semigloss for me.  I like 
it on EEM because it looks a tad smoother than the UT did.  Any 
chance of a slightly warmer curve for EEM other than the current 
neutral-1 in the near future.  I would love a curve that's about 12% 
warmer than the current EEM neutral-1.  Thanks again for all or the 
work you do.  I make living with your help!

Take a look at the neutral curve.  I tried to make it such that people could
modify it easily.  The cyan is the cold ink and is controlled by the Red
curve.  Magenta is the warm ink, controlled by the Green curve. Try moving
the green curve down and the red curve up equal amounts at the 3 points in
these curves.  Just use control tab to highlight the point, then click on
the lower left box and use the arrow keys to move the point down. 

(Be sure the curves box has the dark ends of the axis bars at the bottom
left.  If not, click on the center of the horizontal axis bar.)  

See if this is something that is easy for you to do.

Thanks Paul.  Moved both by 3.  It was very "Easy".  Prints are 
perfect.  Way too cool!  Thanks again.

How do I regulate sepia?  How would I do a very light sepia for 
example?

The carbon curve is, in effect, a very light sepia.  

If you want warmer than carbon, different strengths of sepia are controlled
by curves.  With EEM, for example, I have 2 different sepia options.  

(If you want a different tone, mix a custom sepia ink.  The default is 8% M,
8% Y, 84% UT2 Light Magenta.  With the 2200, sticking in a mix is much
easier.)
