[Digital BW] Printing to Somerset Enhance Velvet

2002-02-10 by Paul Roark

Peter,

Did you try the transfer function for SE?  On my 1160 it helps with the MIS
Vm inkset.  It's not a perfect profile, but if you didn't try it, you might
before investing more.

Let me know if you don't have it.

Paul

Does anyone have any suggestions for printing to Somerset Enhanced
Velvet using Epson OEM inks on a 1280. I'm trying to match the color of
Piezo prints for the work of a friend and having no luck\ufffdall the usual
problems with color crossovers and the like. I am trying to avoid
actually buying Piezo software and inks to do this (only going to use it
for a small number of prints) because I'd rather wait for Piezo2 or
ImagePrint to be available for my printer. I've also tried using the
warm curves for MIS VM on this paper and had little luck\ufffdso I'd also be
interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully used that
ink/paper combination.

Thanks
Peter Lindman

Try adding a color balance layer in Photoshop of 6 red and 15 yellow.
This is close to piezo tones, and you can always tweak the epson sliders
until you match it exactly.
