Espon 3000/Lysonic Ink Thread.

2001-10-03 by lyonscox@mindspring.com

Let me see if I can do this.  On the occassions that I actually do an 
experiment that I pay attention enough to, to record those results, I 
will put it here as such thread.  These may be few and far between 
FWIW.

Tonight I printed on "Espon Photo Quality Gloss Paper".  Started with 
a greyscale scan.

Print #1 Printed in Greyscale (therefore no other driver available in 
the "space" settings) and it had a distinct green cast to it.

Print #2 ran unsharp mask (oops, forgot on the first one), converted 
the file to RGB and printed using Cone EP30EP_EsponPQGP ICC profile - 
is a fairly true neutral.

That profile I believe is set for Espon inks, not Lysonic but it's 
the closest to monitor match I have yet.  I should note that the 
instructions say to print in color and that the driver I mentioned, I 
think, is not for "Epson Photo Paper".

Also INTERESTING that there is no visual cue from the monitor when 
switching between greyscale and RGB if the original scan was in 
greyscale or the color information has been discarded.

FWIW.

Been laughing at metamerasims-whatever.  
Thinking it should be meta-miranda rights.  
My prints have the right to hang on the wall.  
They have the right to look different under different lights.  
They have the right to acting different in other environments.
They have the right to be influenced by paper, framing/glazing and 
illumination.  They have the right...
