Re: [Digital BW] MIS VM from Piezo VP3, 4 Paul and Jerry

2001-09-03 by Jerry Olson

Todd, I do notice the VP3 files and the VT files look different on the screen. You have to make them a bit contrastier and lighter with the
new inks. But then I have a 4 ink printer for the VP3 and a 6 ink printer for the New inks, so that may make a difference too.

I would think you could make a curve to make them equal and save it and load it just before printing.

Jerry

How do you like the cool or neutral cool curve Todd?
