I've installed a UT3D inkset in a 1290s. The inks I have used are: Eboni Cool toner Light Cool toner Carbon Lt Carbon Yellow Lab a axis toner Now I have started playing around with the curve creation with QTR, any ideas how best to approach it would be appreciated. My method thus far: I've started by producing a carbon curve by using Eboni, Carbon and Lt Carbon and simply partioning them. Secondly, I produced a neutralish curve, using the Carbon curve plus Cool toner and Lt Cool toner, by referring to the Lab a and b values following various iterations. Thirdly, I produced a Cool curve using Eboni, Cool toner, Lt Cool toner plus a dash of Carbon and Lt Carbon (as I have seen in various UT7 curves.) Finally, I had a go at producing a maxed out Selenium/Lab a curve, using a maximum amount of Lab a axis toner applied to my Neutralish curve, but it is not my intention to use this curve for printing out directly from, but rather to blend it with my neutralish curve in various amounts in order to get the desired effect. If my approach is flawed or could be improved upon, I'm open to any suggestions, before I go any further with my tests. By the way, I absolutely love what my neutral curve and Lab a axis toner produce when blended in QTR, Jamie.
