Calibrate Lyson Quad on Canon S9000

Calibrate Lyson Quad on Canon S9000

2004-12-27 by hmseattle2004

I am familiar with color calibration (monitor, printer, etc) and use 
a Gretag Photo One to calibrate, but, I am confused about how to 
calibrate my dedicated b&w Canon S9000 + Lyson Quad Ink set. A 
search in the forum  did not turn up any threads. Can someone point 
me in the right direction?

Much thanks in advance

After reading the leaving group thread, I suddenly remembered this post.
I profiled (color) an i9900 and was very impressed. I can't directly
compare dither with the Epsons because the printer is not mine, but it
looked great under a loup. I'd say the Canons are good options for
hardware. The one on line group I found was unfortunately fairly entry
level, so more advanced topics like profiling or 3rd party B&W
solutions would probably not get much play there.
Regarding the Lyson quad question, you are into a fairly new area, and
I doubt you'll find much advice from fellow users because there may be
very few.
I'd address the question to Lyson, they make the inkset available for
that printer, perhaps they have some comments on how to make it work.
One would hope so.
Partitioning for a quad set, hardware calibrating, etc. on your own
could get pretty involved.
