That's an interesting idea. If it's correct, it seems to me that one would
only have to make a warm curve (say) and then one could create a cool curve
by swapping (M and LM for C and LC) inks - for UT7 anyway. 

However, looking at the qidf files for various UT7/paper combinations, the
warm and cool curves have quite different values for the Toner Curve and
Linearization settings. That makes me think your idea wouldn't work, but I'm
not sure why.

Has anyone made a warm curve from a cool (or vice versa) simply by swapping
inks?
