OT, but a bit amusing, I'm writing a Photoshop curve that will balance the carbon tone to neutral in a different "Eboni" setup when the toner is in the LLK position of a K3 printer! (Say what ...?)

The 1400 family version is here: http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-Variable-Tone.pdf, and the latest version is for the 3880, which is written up here: http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/3880-Eboni-Variable-Tone.pdf.The blue toner is a mix of Canon blue and cyan pigments.The reason to use the yellow position is that with Photoshop curves the blue curve controls the yellow position and gives very good and easy control of the print tone. The single-toner approach is, in my view, a very good compromise of ease, flexibility and quality.This type of setup does allow ICCs to be make using QTR's Create ICC-RGB. With those you have a color managed B&W workflow for the Windows platform.Basically, the single-toner "Variable tone" Eboni type inkset is my favorite setup.Paul
