It’s a green brown warm tone. Epson LK and LLK are not pure carbon though.
It works in 1430 yes.
Best,
WalkerI was wondering if anyone has had experience printing with just the MK, LK and LLK of the Ultrachrome HD (not HDR) ink set using Quadtone RIP. In particular, what print tones are achieved using just these inks on various matte papers? I assume a warm tone as they are used in the UCmk-EnhMatte-warm curves for the P600/P800, but I was wondering if anyone can give an indication of how warm, either through meassurement or subjectively, and whether they make a pleasing tonal range together.
I am thinking of draining some large format carts to use in the much cheaper Epson 1430. Does anyone have any experience or feedback about using these inks in a 1.5pl Claria printer? I notice that none of the printers that come with Ultrachrome HD inks have nozzles this small.
This printer has 6 channels, so I was thinking 2 channels of each ink. Unless I get feedback that this will be very warm (I don't mind 'quite' warm, but I might mind 'very' warm), in which case I will add an LC and an LM to the mix for more control (I still want 2 MKs for black boost and smoothness). Any feedback on these proposals before I splash out on expensive large format carts?
Thanks in advance, and to Roy and the community for all the wonderful tools, advice and hard work!

I concur with Walker.
Don't worry about the nozzle size. All of the pigments are very small particles.
I think the rather too-green warm tone is what I see as the main problem for good B&W printing.
