Digital BW, The Print

Ha, that's good news. We can exchange some thoughts and experiences. As said to Paul, I'm still collecting all stuff I need so I need some time to start up. Most likely, I will start with the matte setup as I've not much experience with gloss printing yet.

As initial thought, I was thinking to create three matte QTR curves:

cool/neutral 1: MK PK LLK LLLLK
cool/netural 2: MK LK LLLK
warm          : MK warm-toner

Printing would then happen with equal ratios for the two cool/neutral curves and blend in the warm curve where desired. The reasoning is that QTR does not create much overlap in multi-ink setups. In this way one would trick QTR and get many nozzles to fire simultanuously, a bit similar to the Piezotone approach.

For gloss the scheme would look:

cool/neutral 1: PK LLK LLLLK Glop
cool/netural 2: PK LK LLLK Glop
warm          : PK warm-toner Glop

Does this make any sense?

I still have inks from UT7 inkset, could I use UT7-C and UT7-LC instead of LK and LLK as you recommended? It seems to be carbon only inks. I am using QTR only and don't care about compatibility with driver. I also have clear UT base, so I could dilute those inks if needed.
