Digital BW, The Print

Gents,

I'm using the MIS VT for the first time tonight in my 1160. As you may
recall I've been using the VP3 setup until now (for those who may care, the
VP3 curves were for use with a Piezo/Generations ink blend, with a similar
workflow to the MIS VT).

I'm finding files which I tweaked for VP3, print muddy with the MIS VT if
left unaltered. Is this to be expected? I'm finding I don't get as good a
screen to print match with the VT as I did with the VP3, in that the file
now requires more contrast to look right in print. I haven't done extensive
testing yet, as I thought I should check to see if this is to be expected.

Did you guys find this to be the case?  Did you find that files which were
properly adjusted for the VP3 fell right into place with the VT using the
quads in an 1160? Which method gave the better screen (before Paul's curves)
to print match?

It's not so far off that I can't compensate, but if this behavior isn't to
be expected, I'll mess with my workflow before messing with all my files. I
should probably explore that option in either case.

Maybe just using the contrast slider?....

Thanks,
Todd

I'm using an 1160 printer, BTW.
