Re: [Digital BW] BO Printing - banding

2004-08-14 by Carl Schofield

Tyler,

I used a similar approach with QTR to get a neutral profile for RC 
papers where it is difficult to cool down the very warm PK ink using 
the partitioned method.  I just ran the LK, LC, and LM inks in parallel 
across the scale without any partitioning.  Analogous to BO printing, 
but without using any black ink.  The neutralized LK alone has enough 
density to give a reasonable dmax without using any PK and the tone is 
consistent across the scale.
