Re: [Digital BW] MIS VM Curves was: Re: Successful Users of MIS/Roark VM Ink

2001-09-17 by Peter Lindman

Martin,
Just wanted to let you know that I've had a couple of pretty good days
printing with the MIS VM inks after retrieving the curves you posted and
that Paul Roark emailed to me following my post of frustration Friday.
The neutral-cool curve worked extremely well for me right out of the
box\ufffdprior to that I had been experiencing posterization in the 3/4
tones. The cool curve and the medium-warm curve have also worked quite
well though I haven't put them through the same paces as the neutral as
of yet. I haven't tried the others yet.

All-and-all my best time with quad printing thus far, working with
Polaroid 55 negatives that had proven problematic in the past. I'm
printing on both EAM and Eclipse Satine with minor tonal tweaks between
the two. Now I've got tonally- smooth, extremely sharp prints. I'm
actually having a hard time believing how good these prints look.
Thank you and Paul for your help.
