Re: ColorSync/Epson RGB workflow [was Toning]

2001-08-29 by Tyler Boley

Antonis, here's the confusing part, and you must excuse me 'cause I'm a Mac guy...
Working with Steve Meyers on his PC system, we discovered it made a huge difference even with the driver set to do 
nothing beyond media and resolution selections. "No color adjustment" was selected each time, and PCM consistantly 
muxed up the color a bit. Sending a grad to the printer for just one pure ink to print isn't that hard, but with PCM checked, it 
still mixed in dots of other ink, PCM unchecked and it was clean.
Had quite an effect on tonal gradations as well. Curves developed with it set one way will give you problems with it set 
another, at least that's what we've run into.
That mysterious check box has been a problem from the beginning...
