Ok. I’m going to get the ball rolling by posting a test curve that I’m working on for an upcoming PiezoDN Dye ink set with 8 shades of gray ink.
Curve Type: PiezoDN
Process: 100% Platinum in Oxalate Developer
Media: Revere Platinum Paper
Notes: 50% Humidity, 129.5 Units exposure
Printer: P600
Ink: Dye K8
Curve: Palladium-Ox-129un.quad (8.0 KB)
And here are upcoming PiezoDN v.2.6 master curves for selenium ink and 1400 through P9000 printers (excluding R2000 style printers for the moment).
These are newly smoothed and dMax has been optimized for the 1430 and HD-PK ink.
Curves: Curves-PiezoDN-Selenium.zip (1.0 MB)
New Pro, Selenium, and Dye PiezoDN inks will come in v2.6
LLK (GO) is no longer present in these curves in order to minimize cost per negative and also because some users reported cross bleed between hard edges of HD-PK and the live application of Gloss Optimizer.
best,

Is the dye k8 a different set than the ink thrift pro? Would the dye produce smoother negs than pigment in terms of noise despite the known QTR noise issues? The fact that it’s cheaper is also appealing!
different. and not published as a product. The dye is not exactly the best for noise IMO. Need to work on chemistry.
