SP v12

2006-02-13 by claudej1@aol.com

Tyler,

Will this variable dot be created by the RIP taking over direct control 
of the heads?? IOW, in my case I have a 7500 printer with low miles 
that I want to dedicate for the task, using neutralized, custom mono 
ink mixes, keeping my 7600 for studio color work on RC. I want to print 
both Photo and Matte black on the 7500, varible dot, and the remaining 
heads with various dilutions of gray. Would this be an "insane squared" 
path? Can the v12 make my 7500 into a variable dot machine?? I remember 
the original Cone driver with the 3000 made that unit into a finer 
dither than the vanilla Epson driver of the time. Is this a tri-level 
version of the same?? More details, please.

Claude


improvements are slight to the naked eye, but any move toward a more
photographic output is significant to me, and the difference can seen.
So for me, without going to a 6 or 7 ink setup, v12 has allowed me to
improve output and remains a very interesting and evolving tool.
