Re: Mac, OVI hextone, 3800, print help please

David,

You haven't given much of any indication what you are actually doing to print.

If you have OVI inks and the appropriate curves its a pretty turnkey system.
But you need to install it all and print with OVI curves.  If you are getting "neutral gray"
prints it sounds like you a printing with a neutral gray curve.   That's the idea.
If you want a warm print then you have to use a curve designed for that.
If you are truly getting just MK then you are not using a curve -- the software
warns you about this -- and the print would be warm since MK is warm.
