Re: Carbon Variable Tone toner now available from MIS

2018-02-26 by paulmwhiting@...

Paul,

An old thread, but just what I was looking for. I recall having seen it some time ago ... took some searching!

I have a question on this:

"Note that the MIS toner follows my more recent 25% color pigments to 75% base mix. In the initial Eboni VT inkset I used a 10% color to 90% base dilution. To adjust the profiles that used only 10% color pigs, divide the QTR ink load by 2.5. The ink load adjustment and the amount of color ink in the toner are (inversely) proportionate."


So, if I use the MIS toner with the curves with VT in their name, I simply have to use this toner as is? I mean, I don't need to change its dilution at all? How do I know whether the profiles I'm using are the original 10-90 or the newer 25-75? (I mix my own, btw. using Eboni 1.1 and base b).


Thank you,


Paul (W)


PS: I do wish we were on a more up-to-date forum platform... so hard to search and find key information here. Certainly not your fault!
