Re: [Digital BW] Re: Green cast on R2400 ABW prints

2007-06-17 by Bob Frost

I agree with Clayton; I find I also get slight changes in color after 
changing carts on a R1800 and R2400, especially if the cart being changed is 
fairly old. Pigments settle out with time, so the ink gets lighter. Can't 
you simply correct it with the ABW color correction wheel?

Did you just change a LM cart?  I've experienced on two occasions
differences in LM intensity after changing a cart.  This can effect
the magenta/green balance.  The first time it was a very slight
difference, the 2nd time was more pronounced.  I assume it's
differences in production batches.
