Re: [Digital BW] Using 1290 Driver for 1280 & MIS VM

2003-03-07 by Truman Prevatt

I printed a set of images using the 1290 curves on the 1280. I, however, 
only printed in neutral and neutral cold since that's I would use 99.9% 
of the time. I then downloaded the 1290 driver and installed it and 
printed the same images. I saw no difference at least with the neutral 
and netural cold.
