RE: New UT curves for 1280 - downloaded

Paul,

Do these settings also apply to the new 1160 UT curves? I am 
replacing my VM CIS with a new UT CIS.

Regards,

Bill

The new 1280 Ultra Tone curves use the same basic workflow as the old vm
curves (edit in grayscale, save file, convert file to RGB, apply curves, and
print).

They, of course, were written for the Ultra Tone B&W inks, not the old MIS
VM inks.

There are significant differences in settings.  The new curves use "No Color
Adjustment" in the driver color management section.  This disables the
sliders but makes the curves cross-platform.  Also, the RGB type should be
Adobe RGB (1998). (This is set in Edit, Color Settings;  I set all to PS5
defaults and then just change RGB to Adobe (1998).)

The paper setting is Photo Paper, and the resolution should be 1440.

As before, these curves were written for EAM/EEM.

Let me know how it goes.
