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

2003-03-07 by Editor P.O.V. Image Service

I found with SOME images, using the 1290 driver and 1290 curves gave a 
bit smoother image than if I use the 1270 driver and curves.. Others had 
found better results, again in some - not all - cases with the 1290 
driver and curves than with the 1280 driver and curves. (My own tests 
with the 1280 back then - currently I use it for Lyson inksets, but that 
coud change to the MIS UC GP set -  showed the 1290 driver seemed better 
in some cases.)

So, I've got both drivers/printers installed.. If I find an image does 
not work as well as I would like on the 1270 driver with my curves then 
I can go to the 1290 driver in the print dialog and use those curves.. 
(I've also got a 1290 driver installed for the 1280)

That said: I find more difference, strangely (perhaps just my own 
sensitivity to blue/cyan), in the way the two drvers  print the VM sets 
than the VM-S set...
