Re: Trouble with Piezo and MIS

2002-05-11 by ruhrfoto

Stephen, 
when I switched from the PiezoDriver/Cone-Ink combo to the 
PiezoDriver/MIS-FS-Ink combo on my 1160 I had to readjust all 
my gradation-curves a bit - it was not a big deal. 
I printed a 21step wedge step and customized the greyscale 
settings in PS 6.0 for the new ink.
From now on I had WYSIWYP on my monitor. Tonality of my 
prints was equal to the old Piezo-prints. I could only tell them 
apart by judging the slight difference in overall tone (slightly 
warmer with cone inks or vice versa: slightly cooler with MIS FS).
Nothing about "muddy" prints at all. 
There seems to be something wrong with your settings.
Did you print the 21 step greyscale wedge??
Bernd
