Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

I have a grayscale (near dead neutral and no RGB conversion required), warm
and "nc" ("neutral cool" - 0.02 cool on EAM, like FS-N) curves for the 1290
written.  They are cross-platform (using "no color adjustment"), use Adobe
RGB, and 1440.  As usual, they were profiled on EAM.

I would like to see how they look on other 1290's, since we know that there
is some variance in these machines.  Hopefully the 1290 I have is not an
"outlier."  If it is, I'll try to see if I can make appropriate adjustments
to hit near the middle of the bell curve.

So, if there are forum members with 1290's, MIS VM ink, and flatbed
scanners, I'd like to get some feedback on how these curves work.

Contact me off list if interested.

Thanks.

Paul,

Once again, you are performing a great service, at no cost to anyone. 
Q: What do you mean "no RGB conversion required"? Do you print from 
grayscale? Does this mean the curves are not partitioned? If so how 
does one get different tones? Thank you.

Shilesh,

Only one of the curves is for grayscale file printing.  The others will be
the usual RGB files/curves.

I've found that some like to print from gs files -- makes for quick and easy
draft prints, among other things.  Also, on the 1290 it makes an impressive,
neutral print, even though there is no partitioning.

Paul

Thank you Paul. The VM inks are really capable of wonderfully smooth 
prints without partitioning.
