Alan,
My results were fine without mods to the workflow or the curves, and with
"PQGF" as the "media". Other than experimenting with other 'media' choices
(=profiles -- the amount of ink used generally decreases going from top to
bottom on the media list) as Jerry and Seth offered, the other things
I'd suggest verifying are: (1) that the "printer control management" box
on the "PRINT" panel is unchecked (having it checked gives a flat,
posterized result), (2) that "No Color Adjustment" is selected on the
Advanced > Color Mgmt panel, and (3) that a Nozzle Check shows the
3 gray inks are in the right carts -- the first time I tried Randall's method
in a 740, the new FS cart I put in was bad, had the inks in the wrong
positions, and so the tones on the print were weird.
Let me know if things still aren't right after you try the above. If they're
not, I'll fire up my 740 and review more closely.
Regards,
John

John...i dl David Schecter's curve and i'm using "Phot Quality Glossy
Film" as advised. However my results are disappointing - images are
quite flat and lack the contrast and "sparkle" I was getting with black
only printing. Have you found you needed to make any further adjustments
to Randalls workflow or the curves? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alan

David Schecter adapted the Randall curve for the 740 last October (see
msg 21196)
-- it's posted under Files > Ink Sets > MIS > MIS FS (at least it was
there when I last
looked). This version, which uses "Photo Quality Glossy Film" as the
media option,
provides prints with a tonal character that's essentially the same as
what the 1160
produces -- the only real difference I've seen between prints from these
two printers is
that the ones from the 740 don't have the 1160's fine higher-tone
smoothness (probably
because of the 740's larger dots)-- but I found that this was only
occasionally an issue.
"Photo Quality Glossy Ink" lays down a little less ink than "Photo
Quality Ink Jet".

Subject: [Digital BW] 740 with MIS FS Quad Inks
I've just taken my first step into B&W printing after absorbing much
of the info in this newsgroup. Thanks everyone. I'm using Jeff
Randalls workflow with the curves for the 740 provided in the file
library. I'm using EAM paper. The only step in the workflow i can't
replicate is the selection of "Matt Paper - Heavyweight" - it is
simply not an option in my printer driver (XP). I choose "Photo
Quality Ink Jet Paper". Is this limiting my results? If so how do I
change my driver to get this paper option?
Thanks
