Bulk Inks required for UT-R2 (Question to Paul)

Bulk Inks required for UT-R2 (Question to Paul)

2005-12-09 by timeexposure

Hello,

My UT-R2 are only there since yesterday that I'm starting to worry 
about the day they will be empty...

What should I by? I've the full neutral set except Warm Yellow.
If I understand well:
Cyan & Magenta are the same density => Same ink here
LC, LM, Y are the same density => LC,LM Same neutral Ink, Y warm ink

So I could afford only buying:
- a bottle of neutral Cyan (also used for Magenta position)
- a bottle of neutral LC (also used for LM position)
- a bottle of warm Yellow
- a bottle of eboni black
- a bottle of photo black

Is it right ? On the site they have boottles for every position...

Thanks for your help,
François

The dark densities (C & M) are the same, and the light ones (LC, LM, & Y)
are the same.  I like having a bottle of warm and neutral, in both dark and
light densities.  Then I can add easy-refill carts as needed and vary the
tone as needed.  I'd also have plenty of chips lying around.

It might be worth having the warm dark ink around also.  For some things I
like the warm or carbon look.

The R2-PKn I mixed is better than the PK or the older PKN.  (I hope MIS is
selling the right mix -- will try to find out.)  So, be careful to specify
the R2-PKn, not the older PKN that was in the "Roarks Lab" (not really mine,
by the way).
