Re: RGB Workflow for MIS FS Quad Inks

2001-11-11 by Martin Wesley

Jeff,

Since the Epson printers are CMYK printers you cannot fully partition 
the inks in RGB through the Epson RGB-to-CMYK driver. You really 
would need to use a RIP and partition in CMYK to get full individual 
control of each ink. Check in the "Files" section for Tyler Boley's 
workflow on how he does this. Dan Culbertson's work also.
