Re: another ink option

2001-09-09 by Martin Wesley

Tyler,

I completely agree with you. The more options we have the better. For 
someone with your experience a new ink set is all in a day's work so 
to speak. I know that it is a tremendous amount of work to build all 
the profiles and curves, but you do have the ability to do this.

Most of us do not. So when I read that it is another set of inks 
without software support, I am finding it more annoying. I don't want 
to see another MIS situation where people like Paul have to design 
all the curves with no support from the manufacturer and then 
distribute them for free.

I would like to see a change in the way these companies do business 
so that they don't even bother to announce the inks until the are 
willing to provide printer profiles or drivers as well.

My 2 cents.

Martin
