Re: [Digital BW] Epson 2000P Hex or Quad MIS Inkset ?

2017-08-13 by a_pettit_jr@...

Hello Paul,

I am trying to remember what I did .. 15+ years ago.

When I apply the MIS FS .acv profiles, I transform the BW into a KCMY
color file .. It is obvious the C and M equate to quite different darkness levels - I just am not able to understand were the LC and LM fit in a hex set.

Should I try a mix based on your 3880 formula
LM = 6% MK (Eb6-LM)16
M = 18% MK (Eb6-M)
LC = 9% MK (Eb6-LC)
C = 30% MK (Eb6-C)
LK = 18% MK (Eb6-M)
LLK = 6% MK (Eb6-LM)
K = 100% MK (Eb6-K)

using perhaps
K = 100
C = 30
M = 18
LC & LM = 9 ?
Y = 6 ?

I don't remember the old 2000P Hex dilution ratios.

Alex
