Linearization of Epson driver on 4800 and 2400
2005-07-23 by John Moody
Has anyone printed and measured a gray step wedge on the 4800 or 2400 through the Epson driver with no color management? In color mode, not ABW. The 4800 is supposed to have good factory linearization; I\ufffdm wondering how good. For example, this is how bad my 2200 is using the matte 1440 settings on heavyweight matte.
