1200 & VM not linear?

2002-01-20 by fotos@eunet.at

Hi,

finally, I managed to set up my Eson 1200 with MIS VM Inks, and it works fine. I
downloaded Pauls Curves for the 1200 & PC, and applied the workflow. I created a
small test image containing the step from the group site, and when I print it on
various papers (Photo Rag, Bugra, EAM,..) , the continous step on top looks like
it contains several different segments:

100% - approx. 95 % is much darker 
95 % - 60 % medium grey
60 % - 35 % light grey
35 % - 0 % very light grey, almos white.

So, the step des not show a linear decrease in the light absorption, but it is
more discontinous, leading to steps probably when another ink takes over.

Unfortunately, my scanner is broken, so I could not scan this yet.

Does anybody using a 1200 with VM inks on a PC have the same problems, or might
there be a problem in my setup?

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Ernst
