Re: blotchy prints with UT2 on PSPP...

2004-03-26 by tronicart

That seems to have helped just a little, but it's still noticable to 
the naked eye.  T007-UPK is Photo K, yes?  Anything in the sliders I 
can play with to adjust the flow of black?

Is the Eboni curve supposed to turn off the black position?

Thanks,
  Daniel
