Re: Lyson Cave Paint Inks and QTR on an Epson 9600 UC

2009-03-15 by dlruckus

Hi Steve.
Keep in mind that QTR in calibration mode is putting out ink at the maximum rate the printer can send. The various third party inks do differ so variance from the OEM inks is not unusual and papers may react to them differently as well.

If you set the proper ink limits in QTR as you seem to be doing
you will end up with the maximum gamut attainable with that ink and paper when finished with linearizing the set. Whether or not a different ink set could do better would have to be determined by comparing your d'max density with others using the same machines and papers with other ink sets and QTR.

Regards,
Duane
