Something interesting for using Paul Roark's VT inksets

Something interesting for using Paul Roark's VT inksets

2018-01-20 by richard@...

I released a whole new set of tools for QTR profiling dedicated black and white printers. I know a lot of people here are interested in Paul's blue toner uses, and I think the new Gray Balance tool I include in my QuadToneProfiler-Pro tools would be the best thing for people trying to neutralize the carbon inks. The gray balance tool allows you to target specific a* of b* values by "linearizing" the toning curves with the untoned curves. I used it with a 3880 and Piezography WN K5 with LcLmY and Piezography K6 carbon with Lc and Lm for inks for a range of warm carbon, neutral, selenium, and cool tones. I have a few people who bought it to use with Paul's set up, but haven't done so personally yet.

I'm also doing a YouTube live demo tomorrow with my K5CMY printer if you're interested.
