I'm new to using 1160 with Cone CIS. One of the things that has bothered me 
although I am still so new I haven't had time to explore it yet, is how I 
could combine images and text since in order to print a image, it had to be 
exported thru the Piezography software and I wasn't sure but it didn't seem 
like I could combine it with a publishing program.  If I am using Paul's 
curves with the Epson driver and cone inks on the 1160, will I be able to use 
Pagemaker to publish image with text in say a brochure or a mini-portfolio 
for PR or even with a small book?

Billie,
you should  distinguish between the "old" P. Roark curves, which 
he has created to print piezo inks through the Epson driver  and 
his "new" curves  for his variable mix ink set.
I think his new curves won´t work with the piezo inks.

As the Full Spectrum inks  with J. Woolf workflow and Epson 
Driver may lead to the same results as Piezo inks with the Piezo 
driver - it should go vice versa if you apply an reciproke Woolf 
curve for printing with piezo inks and Epson driver, no?

Just a thought, did anyone try this ?
I will do it, if I find some minutes.

Bernd

Billie,

Photoshop 6 will open Adobe Acrobat PDF files as raster images. You 
could do your page layout there. Perhaps you can export the Pagemaker 
files to Acrobat and then open it in Photoshop.

Might want to just leave blank areas for your photos and then cut and 
paste them in after bringing in the page layout.
