I've been interested in printing with quadtone ink sets for some time now, and I'm looking at experimenting with it for a project at school. Although I like warmtone prints, I don't like it for everything, and since I'll be displaying silver gelatine prints next to the inkjet prints, I've chosen the MIS VM-quads in order to get a neutral tone. Right now, my setup is: Nikon LS-4000 film scanner Photoshop 6 NEC LCD Display Epson 860 I'd like to calibrate my whole setup, so I'm looking at adding an Epson 2450 scanner and MonacoEzColor calibration software. I like the monaco software because it can do everything from the scanners to the monitor to the printers (I'll probably add an Epson 1280 at some point as well), but I understand that the MonacoSENSOR doesn't support LCD monitors. Can I simply use another colorimeter that supports LCDs with the Monaco software? Can someone recommend one or recommend other software that I can use to calibrate my setup? Can the Monaco software be used to generate curves for the quadtone inks on different papers/printers or will it only work for full color gammut inks? Thanks! --Tom
