EX printer and Mis Hex-blacks

EX printer and Mis Hex-blacks

2001-10-20 by bob.frost@cwcom.net

Has anyone produced any curves for b&w printing on the EX, preferably 
with MIS inks? I've spent two days trying to produce a transfer curve 
as I don't know how to start making real PS curves for 6 inks. I 
thought I'd bring my old EX out of retirement and put it to use.

Bob,

Which of the MIS inks are you using? 

Sounds like it might be the VM so I would suggest that you start with 
one of Paul Roark's existing curve sets, try it with a 21-step wedge, 
see how far off it is and then open up the curve as see how the R, G 
and B curves have been adjusted as a starting point.

I believe you will be better off doing curves inside Photoshop rather 
than using the transfer function in the Epson driver.
