Re: [Digital BW] On Topic and OT: Epson R2400 and Ink Density Settings (B&W & color)

2006-08-28 by Howard Slavitt

Thanks, C. David.  (BTW, I purchased my first custom profiles from 
you, way back when, when I had an Epson 1200 and was using 
MediaStreet inks. . . . You don't still sell custom profiles do 
you?)  . . .  What about for profiling Epson Semigloss, do you think 
I might also see an improvement in shadow detail with little effect 
on color gamut with a -3% ink density setting? . . .  Can you 
recommend either Cathy's profiles or inkjetart.com to use as a 
profiling service?
