QTR-Quadtone RIP

If one wanted to warm up their Eboni/Carbon prints by using fewer inks, which dilutions would be the best choice? I'm experimenting with Eboni6 and Epson Hot Press Natural and it's amazing how neutral these pigments look. For some reason they look much warmer after varnishing, but I think I am giving up on that technique as I value my lungs and brain.

Also, what are the warmest matt papers currently available?

Thanks!

Hi, 

Hahnemühle PhotoRag is warmer than HPN, but you might try the
Hahnemühle Bamboo paper to get brown tones. However this paper is kind
of ivory, so it is not suitable for every subject. I can send you my
soft-proofing icc profiles (made with Eb5 inkset: same as Eb6 without
the most diluted ink) so that you can compare HPN and Bamboo. 

What
kind of varnish do you use for HPN? I use Lumijet and I get no tone
change. 

Have a nice day 

Sylvain.

The middle dilutions -- LC and M -- are the warmest.

Yes, it's a great combination for those who want a 100% carbon pigment
image, a non-brightened paper, a rather neutral image, and very good dmax.

The more "stuff" that is against the edge of the particles or dots, whether
in the base or applied later, the warmer the carbon seems to become.

I assume you mean which papers cause the image to be or appear the warmest.
 Some of the warmest papers in terms of their paper base are the Epson HP
natural and Hahnemuhle bamboo, both of which have relatively neutral carbon
pigment images in that the rise in Lab B is limited.

While the Epson HPn rise in Lab B is about 1.5 units, many papers will give
you a 4 unit rise.  H. Photo Rag and Red River Aurora are among them.

To get a warmer appearance you can go with a more heavily brightened paper
that leads to a greater difference between the paper base (highlights) and
warmest tone on the paper.  With Red River Polar matte, for example, you
can get a Lab B rise of 7 with this approach.
