C86 EZ -> 2200 with UT7 tones?

C86 EZ -> 2200 with UT7 tones?

2006-01-20 by Richard Cooke

Hi Folks,

I have both the C86 loaded with the EZ inks and a 2200 loaded with the
UT7 inks.  I really like the warm tone I'm getting with the C86 with
PK, C neutral, Magenta warm and Yellow warm carts on Costco glossy. 
I'd like to get that tone with the UT7 inks for matte papers.  I've
looked at Paul's slider recommendations but I can't get as warm a
print using that method. 

I do have IJC/OPM (and a i1) so can anyone give any words of wisdom on
which inks to use to get to the warm tone of the EZ inks?  I assume
that I'll need to use the Eboni, Cyan position (warm), Lt Cyan (warm)
inks.  Will this arangement give me the best (smoothest) prints or do
I also need to use the LLK ink?  

Thanks,

Richard

As my UR7 readme at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-2200-Readme.htm notes,
the sliders' range is rather limited.  The RGB curves can get you full
carbon warm.  They can be downloaded from
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT7-2200-curves.html .  The "Carbon" tone is
the same as the EZ-W tone.
