Re: Epson 1160 Dilemma

2004-03-27 by Andrew Unger

I use the 1160 with the MIS VM inkset and while generally pleased, I 
will be switching soon to the UT1 set.  If you go with the VM inkset 
you should use the curves that Paul Roark created for the 1160 and 
UT1.  They give much smoother results than the original curves.  The 
only drawback of the new curves is that the slider to fine tune the 
toning control is not available.
