Printer Gamma 1.8 and 2.2???

2003-07-06 by Johnny Eades

I have reread the instructions on MIS website posted by Paul Roark 
about using MIS inks with his workflow and curves for output to an 
Epson 1280. I have been using printer Gamma 2.2 chosen from the 
print menues concerning color controls. Upon rereading the 
instructions I noticed his mentioning using printer Gamms 1.8. I 
then tried that setting and have found the upper values are rather 
washed out and have no detail.Shen printing the same print with the 
printer Gamma 2.2 settings the higher values have detail and body as 
do the shadows. If 2.2 is wrong then what is happening with the 1.8 
setting??
