Re: [Digital BW] more colorbase misc.

While Epson get their act together and actually make the 4800 Mac version
available, I would be interested if a PC user with a 4800 could post their
read data.  How linear is the average 4800 to begin with?

BTW here's a problem with assuming that it is doing a simple linearization
and ONLY that:  assuming it's doing just a simple linearization implies the
assumption that the printer which printed the Epson profiling charts was
perfectly linear. Perhaps it was and it is logical to assume that Epson
would make their reference machine as linear as possible.  But all we know
is that it adjusts your printer to be more like their printer.

When I speak to Epson UK Support again tomorrow I will try to get a little
more info.
