Eclipse Velvet and Satine Piezo Curve

2001-08-17 by mwesley250@earthlink.net

I have been playing with the Brightcube Eclipse Satine 190, 300 or 
Velvet 350 and Piezo inks. You might want to try the settings below. 
Maybe someone else can dial it in tighter.

Try the unsupported profile and set Gamma = 0.92 and Dot Density = 
104%

Is this getting close?

Seems like the blacks are at Museo level with a much brighter white 
base. There is still some veiling in shadow areas but better than the 
standard profiles. I really like the very neutral tone. Not quite up 
to the Legion Photo Matte or the Torchon but much better than I first 
thought. I think the base is much nicer than the LPM. I they would 
just tweak the coating so that it is not quite so porous it would be 
a real winner for the pigment inks.

Has anyone tried it with any of the dye ink sets?
