[Digital BW] question re roark curves

2001-08-29 by Paul Roark

John,

You asked:

>for an image destined to be output via the epson driver and Roark curves,
>what grayscale profile should I use? a custom dot gain curve like I would
>with piezo?

My PC Color Settings (Edit, Color Settings) are at "Photoshop 5 Default
Spaces."  This top line setting includes Gray Gamma 2.2.

>also, in the epson print dialog what settings should I enter for source
>space etc (I have PCM turned off)?

In the first printer dialogue box I have the "Print Space" "Profile" set at
"Same as Source."

Jerry Olson, who uses a Mac, has a spot for a media setting in the dialogue
boxes of his 1280, as I understand it, and has it set to gamma 1.8.  The
1280 curves have been written based on Jerry's settings.  I don't know if we
have a PC v. Mac difference here.

Paul
