Re: VM Ink Positions - can anyone help?

2003-03-31 by Charles Bandes

That should be correct.

What printer? What platform?

If it's a 1280, you may find that the standard 1280 curves lead to flat/muddy midtones around 70% (many of us have had this problem with the recent VM inksets) - if you do, try the Tyler Boley  curves and/or Pauls 1290 curves, both of them give me _way_ better results.

You could also try Roy's QuadtoneRIP which has some really nice curve development tools included (and it's free! :) )
