QTR-Quadtone RIP

Use the HP Z3100 Vivera PK black that Paul Roark used in his C6. 
      He said it is as black as Eboni and the same price--or less.  You
      would have to buy the HP cart and extract the ink.  Then, load it
      into an 1800 cart.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the suggestions. I may pursue the third party ink options in 
the future. I'll have to try the Epson PK & MK in QTR Curve Creator for 
the Epson Ultra Prm Luster paper I'm focusing on at this time.

I have made some progress starting with the PK only ink (has green cast 
on the Luster paper). I've added some Magenta & Yellow and ended up with 
a nice warm tone brown along the lines of LensWorks magazine tone.

Also, bronzing is a big issue and I created a curve in Photoshop for the 
Gloss (GL) that puts 90% across the entire range dropping off to 5% at 
100% black. I've also printed some with Harman Gloss FB AL paper and 
noticed bronzing is a lot less.

Do you have any third party ink suggestions for a good Photo Black for 
the Luster & Glossy papers?
