Epson 4000, FSN C, M, Y on the left side, FS C, M, Y on the right side (in the LC, LM, LK positions), Eboni Black. Using QTR. Hahnemuehle Photo Rag 308. QTR ink separation page printed at 100%. Eye One spectro. 100% densities read: Eboni 1.71 FSN-C 1.24 Lab a=-0.5 b=-0.2 FSN-M .53 Lab a=0.3 b=-6.7 FSN-Y .36 Lab a=0.2 b=-4.4 FS-C 1.31 FS-M .49 FS-Y .36 I've used FSN and FS on this machine before with no problem. What seems wrong is: The FSN-M and Y seem too blue (note high negative b numbers) while the FSN-C is close to neutral. The dark grays for both FSN and FS should be darker (density around 1.5?). Also for both FSN and FS it seems there should be more of a density difference between the light grays and middle grays (M and Y). I used to know the 100% densities on HPR of Piezotone Selenium inks when I used to had them in my printer, but that was a long time ago and I don't have those test targets anymore. What should these numbers be and what about the blue FSN? I'm suspecting I got bottles with the wrong ink. (The bottles are labeled FSN-C, FSN-M, etc.). I will be contacting MIS on Monday. -John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
