Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

I've been printing pretty successfully using MIS-VM inks with a 1280 on a
Mac, Paul's curves as specified, EEM. System 9.x Photoshop 6. (The cooler
the curve the "grainier" the midtones appear, but that's another story.)

I just tried printing everything the same way except via PS7. Results are
lousy. It's like my tonal curve developed a large flat spot from about zone
iii to zone vi. Mush.

Is it just me, or is this difference apparent to anyone else?

Cheers, JDF

Yes!

The 1280-mac curves print _terribly_ under PS7 on a mac.

I have much much better luck with the 1290 curves or the Tyler Boley curves or QuadtoneRIP (all free)
