Dan,
I just got an Epson 10000... I was thinking of trying a RIP to print pure
CMYK step tablets and try them on pictorico film to see which might be the
most effective say with platinum printing... any thoughts? Have you tried
digital negs from the 10000?

Good questions Katharine,
When I was developing the Spectral Density method (and I certainly refer
only to the small world of my book on digital negatives, not to the
wider, territorial-marking world in which egos shout "I thought of this
first!"), I wondered about the same thing: what color would best absorb
UV? What I did was scan a piece of Masking Vinyl, the orange stuff
printers put around negs when laying them out to burn printing plates. I
figured that if the printing industry had decided that color was optimum
for blocking UV, that was good enough for me.
Sampling that color in Photoshop resulted in the 0/71/71/0 color and its
newer brother 0/55/55/0.
Not to say there aren't better colors...but that orange works amazingly
well at blocking UV.
