Re: My best settings for the 3800 / K3 on Photo Rag

Rick,

> I would be interested to know which problems these settings resolved
for you as I have the same setup and am going through the same process
at the moment...

When I first tried to print on Photo Rag with the 3800, using setting
Media type/Velvet Fine Art Paper, the detail in the darkest part of
the image (aprox. from rgb0 up to rgb 25) were terrible: See the graph
at http://www.xs4all.nl/~hc6/3800/3800.htm 
I was advised to use setting Media type/Ultrasmooth, and that gave me
indeed a lot of improvement. And by using the sliders for Brightness,
Contrast, Shadow Tonality and Highlight tonality, I was able to get
very close to my target densities.

Did you do your measurements yet?

Regards,

Igor
