thanks for the reply Paul. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to threads here. It is appreciated.

Re: Revisiting Carbon 6/7/8 in 2024
The C6b base is for matte printing only. I buy glossy base (wj824, from
STS Inks) for PK dilution. For matte, just use MK with the PK dilutions.
In fact, you can use the PK as the deepest "midtone"

Digital negative dmax 3.0. The highest dmax for a digital negative on Fixxon? from an Epson 3880 is about 1.01 to 1.10. I am using an Xrite Model 331 transmission densitometer. What should I be doing

Re: Revisiting Carbon 6/7/8 in 2024
thanks Paul. I've been using your C6B blend to dilute the MK in my setup. That still works with PK?

Re: If it isn't one thing it is another
Problem solved; profiles are now accessible by Print-Tool: uninstalled QuadToneRIP and deleted the printer, then reinstalled both QTR and the printer and all is good.

Re: Revisiting Carbon 6/7/8 in 2024
What is being used for dilution and where can I get that in EU?
Another thing that goes thru my mind: has enyone tried to dilute and use Epsons Pro 12 MK and PK Black + LC and LM from that series?

Re: Horizontal lines
I really don't know any details about the DTP process and what's needed.
In general I'd think anything that can take Matte Black can take any other ink as well.

Re: Revisiting Carbon 6/7/8 in 2024
Just for ideas, where Paul has his second 100% MK I've put a 6% PK dilution in place. Maybe that's too close to 9%, maybe not, but that's what I did.

Re: Horizontal lines
Thank you for answering!
Just to be sure:
I print DTP on Toyobo-plates using QTR and PrintTool.
And for that you only use Matte Black isn’t it?
The thing is, I only see it in the, let’s say,

Re: Revisiting Carbon 6/7/8 in 2024
Contact STS Inks down in FL. Shoot email to Joe. I’ll not post his email here but it’s pretty easy to deduce from what I just said.
MK = wj1082
PK = wj1122
glop = wj824
Double-check those with Joe

Thanks very much for the info.
At this stage there are pro’s and con’s to using Torelief plates. They may get rid of the measles problem but also may have a highlight ( tonality) issue
