Re: [Digital BW] QTR - grayscale ramp scrambled w/Ultratone curves

2003-11-14 by Carl Schofield

David,

If you are using a Mac, I don't think the toner curve would be that far  
off to require any adjustment.  Do you get a similar effect with the  
sepia curve (orange)?  Are you sure all of the gray inks are firing  
(nozzle checks OK)?
