Re: [Digital BW] more colorbase misc.

2005-10-04 by Steve Kale

Well I see your point and would correct my post of yesterday.  If it is
linearising the printer output this will benefit users of third party inks
and papers because it will ease the pressure that would otherwise exist on
their custom ICC profiles.  Can you add a paper/ink?  Or do you have to
kill/bastardise one of the Epson paper settings and couple it with a custom
profile?  Can you have a list of Colorbase settings that you can switch
around?  I take it from your final paragraph below that you can.
