Re: Lyson small gamut

2001-12-19 by tomoc

I had some trouble getting used to the toning with the SG inks. Lyson 
has published some profiles for your printer and for proofing in 
Photoshop, but it is far from WYSIWYG or WYSIWYP.

My tendency was to over tone... If you go to the Lyson website you 
will find a "standard" and "advanced" tutorial. They are both worth 
reading (with the caveat that some of the settings need to be toned 
down).

I don't have any metamerism issues... I thought the LSG were dye 
based inks??? One of the very strong reasons for using SG is that you 
can print really nice glossy and semi-gloss pics that you just can't 
do with any pigment ink I am aware of.

Give it a try and I'll be glad to share some experiences with you.
