Re: Latest variable-tone inkset

2003-09-02 by flyfishingusa2002

Paul, 
you kind of lost me on this one! Which driver sliders are you refering to? The Epson 
print driver? You say it's time to break Photoshop monopoly, but then you go on to 
say using curves is the way to go. 
How would this approach work in a 3000 or a 2200 with the  UT inks?

I have been  doing very well with the Quadtone RIP and a 2200. I  have a 3000 with 
FSN inks and I am looking for a way to improve that, any suggestions?
