Wow, pretty amazing group here, have been lurking the archives for a few days waiting for my ink and carts to show up for an R280 that I'll be setting up for B&W printing only. This is an wonderful resource! I have a question about ink curves in profiles for doing Paul's new EB6-YK approach. Specifically, Paul mentions he likes to use 3K's and 3Y's in this mode and I was planning on doing the same on my R280. What I wonder about is the ink curves for the 3K's and 3Y's. I notice in the 3MK profiles that there are separate custom ink curves for each of the MKs that appear to stagger when the various inks start firing - I presume to get the smoothest BO approach. Should the same thing be done in a EB6-YK approach? Or does the inclusion of the Y ink make this not necessary and instead should I just divide the ink limits by 3 and use the "standard" K and Y curves created from a "standard" calibration session with QTR? Anyone have a EB6-YK profile they are using I could see for reference? Also, Paul mentioned he was 50/50 mixing a 3MK and YK profile as his preferred QTR output. Paul - what do you like about this over a 100% YK approach? Thanks in advance for any help, and as soon as I get my supplies and an acceptable print out I'll post whatever worked out (hopefully) for my setup. Ken
