RGB Workflow for MIS FS Quad Inks

RGB Workflow for MIS FS Quad Inks

2001-11-10 by jrandall@ch2m.com

I'm trying to develop an RGB/partitioned workflow for the MIS FS quad 
inkset.  I've tried Paul Roark's VM curves and "zeroing" the Blue 
curve that controls the toner and many other trial and error 
efforts.  Before I pay to have an ink pipeline installed from MIS to 
my house, I think I need some help.  Does anyone have guidance on how 
to develop a partitioned workflow for an inkset and paper combination?

Thanks.

Jeff,

Since the Epson printers are CMYK printers you cannot fully partition 
the inks in RGB through the Epson RGB-to-CMYK driver. You really 
would need to use a RIP and partition in CMYK to get full individual 
control of each ink. Check in the "Files" section for Tyler Boley's 
workflow on how he does this. Dan Culbertson's work also.
