Re: [Digital BW] Are there profiles available to use Epson 870 with MIS VM inks?

2001-09-29 by mckenzierussell79@yahoo.com

I'm also interested in curves for the 870/1270 (I'm assuming they 
would be the same.)  I've tried the 1280 curves, and I agree with 
Paul: the 1280 curves don't work very well with the 870.  I'm willing 
to do the work myself, but I'm not sure I have the equipment or the 
experience necessary.  If someone would post a sort of general 
outline of the process, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks
