Re: Help with Epson Photo Stylus Ex

2003-05-13 by Tom

Howdy Sean,

I was in the same situation when I first started using the MIS VM set
with my 2000P. I ignored all the negative talk about my printer and
tried various curve sets until I found one that produced a nice clean
21 step test.

are you trying to print greyscale or rgb? 

I am surprised reducing the magenta via the slider has no effect. I
know nothing about the EX (4 or 6 color?, dye or pigment inks?), but
would suggest seeing if there is a set of curves for a similar printer
and start there. For me, it was the set for the 1290.

hope this helps,

Tom De Carlo
