[Digital BW] Re: Epson R340 with MIS UT-R2 Inkset Experiences

2007-02-04 by p3guru32371

Ok....i just printed with no icc.  And the flat spot, is still there,
though a bit less pronounced.

Im going to make a guess, that if i reduce one of the darker greys in
the color controls, perhaps that will in some way reduce the effect
further.  

i will do some trial and error with various color settings and see
what happens.
