Re: getting posterization with OPM

2003-11-03 by Antonis Ricos

Antara,

my first thought would be that the profile doesn't match your particular 
printer/paper combo. The best approach is to use IJC and make a profile 
fine-tuned to your particulars. Also, make sure you use the updated version of 
OPM with the bug fixes for the 2200 (write to bowhaus if in doubt).

In any case, a much improved version is about to be introduced for Mac OS X, 
at which point you may consider making your own profiles anyway,  rather 
than relying on the ones that users like myself have made public in recent 
months.
