Re: [Digital BW] IJC/OPM and dmax issue

2005-01-31 by Nick H. Nugent

Hi all,

I did what Antonis suggested to identify the black ink limit for the 
1160/UT-FS on Photo Rag: print a black-only target using a straight 
diagonal ink shape and use a spectro to read the patches.

Unfortunately the darkest patch still has the highest density and it 
is still way below the density produced by the Epson driver. What 
this means is OPM has yet to print to the 1160 past the point where 
it overloads the paper.

I'm afraid this is something for Joe Berndt to look at.  I'm sure 
Joe will find a solution to this problem in a little while.

Thanks Antonis, Lou and Alan for your inputs. Without your 
suggestions I'd still be trying to get this elusive dmax instead of 
looking to Bowhaus for the ultimate solution.
