The neutral greys for an entirely neutral > print and the warm greys for a warmer feel mixed as appropriate > with the neutral greys That's the formula I think is real close to ideal, and, in fact, close to where my 220 is headed next. If you're into glossy printing with Glop, you could interchange blacks and have Glop in the Y position as an alternative to the PKN. In another alternative that is being set up by a B&W Print forum member, sepia is going into the Y position (or a 1280 -- they're all close to the same). MIS R2 can be set up that way. Frankly, standard Eboni-Lk-LLK for the warm & MK, with a neutral gray set makes a nice combo (R2 or a UT14 derivative -- or the HP PK and greys I've been experimenting with for the high end or where ink separation may be a problem). With the HP greys (they spell it with an "e") one can use either OEM LK and LLK, or mix them down from the HP PK with my standard C6 base. When one dilutes the HP greys this way, they are cheaper than even third party bulk inks, and they may be the most stable neutral gray inks -- very high tech stuff. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
