Digital BW, The Print

Do you need to profile VFA for K3 inks to get neutral prints? What paper
setting do you use?

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: ABW Settings for VFA and other preferred papers.

Hello,

I use the VFA with all ABW settings neutral.  On the USFA, I have 
been using an h-12 v-16 and all other settings neutral.  The "circle 
thing" on the USFA gives more or less the tonality of the VFA but 
somewhat cooler and might be too cool for some people.  When a single 
print or a set of similar prints are viewed (without side by side 
comparisons) they tend to set their own whitepoint and look "right."  
Lighting, which is highly variable in home, gallery and museum, also 
dramatically changes the whitepoint but in a given situation we 
adjust to that too.  So, unlike Clayton, I don't really pursue 
a "certain look."  I prefer something transparent to the eye and in 
wet printing never used toners, etc.

Walt
