RE: [Digital BW] Re: Disappointed with MIS-VM and Epson 1280

2003-03-06 by Ed Mathews

Can someone point me to Tyler Boley's curves for the MIS VM inks and the
1280?  I looked in the file section, and all I saw was a text related to
Piezo, and a tif file related to a soft proof article.  I'm running PS 7
on Windows.

Thanks,
Ed
