Latest variable-tone inkset

2003-09-02 by Paul Roark

OK, now for something entirely different.

I have been printing (on the 1280) and controlling a variable-tone inkset
from a grayscale file -- in Word!

It's time to break Photoshop's monopoly.

Well, the reality is that the driver sliders can control this dual-toner
inkset over a range from quite warm to selenium/neutral and cooler.
However, with Photoshop curves the inkset goes all the way to sepia.  So, it
can be something a novice can print without having to buy PS, or we can use
different curves to do a broader range, split-tones, and whatever profiling.

I think this approach could be big.
