Bob,

I believe he means in PS (after converting to grayscale) go to Image
--> Mode --> Assign Profile... then set it for 20% Dot Gain.

BTW, I followed this thread with interest this week and finally just
got around to trying it on my 870. I printed an image I had already
printed out on EAM, PR and Eclipse Satine with my 1160 and FS-N inks
with a Randall curve. Although I am impressed by the results of my 870
with Clayton's BO workflow (as I expected awful) I unfortunately found
it MUCH too grainy and the 1160 quadtone prints blew the 870 BO out of
the water in terms of tonality and smoothness. At arms length and on
letter size paper I guess not too bad but still no comparison to true
quadtone I'm afraid.

I will try it again however with a friend's 1280 and set for 2880 dpi
and see what results.

Best regards,
 Richard
