Re: QuadTone RIP on an Epson 1200?

2003-11-25 by foggy11dj

Sorry for the confusion Roy,  Yes it was in a 7600 with Ultrachrome inks (Matte Black) 
with GREAT success.  Thanks so much for all your hard work on this.  I have to play 
with the density since the curves I used are for the 2200, but other than that 
everything looks great.

As for the 1200, I was hoping I could get it to produce similar results.  I know the 
Genrations ink set is vastly different from the Ultrachome, but I thought someone else 
might have already tried this.  When printing with the 7600 on QTR is is using mostly 
just the LK and K or does it use a combination of all 7 inks to produce a grey tone? 

If the answer is that QTR is set up to use mostly the LK and K inks, I can see why this 
wouldn't be possible with the 1200 since there is no LK.
