IJC/OPM Updates available

IJC/OPM Updates available

2005-08-21 by jbowhaus

Updates for both the MAC and XP version are available as a free
download to all registered users.  These new versions support the
R2400, and ship with profiles for both Matt and Glossy papers.  
The Glossy profiles are built in a unique way, they don't use the
Black ink. A special blending of inks achieves a D-Max of 2.32on most
papers without the need of Photo Black.  So with the Matt black ink
installed, a user can switch between Matt and Glossy printing without
the added expense of having to switch the Black ink.

Interesting - what's the "blend" at the black end?

Steve,

what Joe is referring to is the use of dark gray as the dominant ink
from the darkest tones to 100%. Some C and M may also kick in to
raise dMax but only in the very deep blacks. 
Anyone with IJC can open one of these profiles and look at the
curves. What Joe discovered is that you can get pretty deep black
in glossy prints with this combination and skip the Photo K altogether.
The idea is you leave the Matte K and use it as always for matte
prints, but you don't need to swap it out for the PK to do glossy.
Pretty nifty.

Antonis

Understood.  This is what others were doing a while ago with the k-less
printing.  I was just wondering what the mix was like at step 100.  I am
about to play around with QTR curves for photo paper for the 4800 over the
next little while.  Given these are essentially the same product - same
underlying driver (Gimp) but with a different curve generation interface - I
was looking for a hint....   ;-)
