Re: MIS Ultracrome Inks -Solarization on Glossy

2003-05-24 by akreskin

Eric,

For what it's worth.  Have you tried the "Epson Photo Paper".  In my 
case it was the only paper I was able to get exceptable results with 
using the existing curves and UltraTone B&W Inks. Anything glossier 
got the same results you got. I had high hopes for the Pictorico 
Photo Gallery Gloss but the results were unexceptable(Bronzing,etc.)
I like the tone of the inks very much(Paul's NC Curve) but I've 
switched back to using them on matte only (with the FSN Black). I 
tried an experiment and printed them with Cones driver on the 
Pictorico Paper and much of the Bronzing was eliminated, but of 
course I couldn't control the tones. I'm not capapable of writing 
curves so I'm going to stick with the Matte until someone smarter 
then myself comes up with some curves that work with the 1200. Paul, 
thanks for all your hard work, the inks are beautiful when printed 
on Matte paper.
