2100 UT7 Creating ICC for Kayenta/Lasal and Entrada, which curve to start with?

2008-12-21 by dizpark

Hi!

I would like to create an ICC as per Paul's instructions - initially 
for Moab Kayenta/Lasal, but eventualy also for Entrada Rag Bright and 
Natural.

The inkset is UT7, printer - 2100 (same as 2200).

Which curve should I start with?  Paul has created the following 
matte curves for this inkset/printer combo:

Epson Enhanced Matte
Hahnemuele PhotoRag
Epson UltraSmooth and PremierArt Hot Press 
Innova matte papers

For Entrada Natural I think the best matching curve would be that of 
PremierArt Hot Press - Paul mentions in his readme text that "Moab-
Natural prints similarly" with these curves.

But what about Kayenta/Lasal and Entrada Rag Bright?  Should I start 
with Epson Enhanced Matte curves? 
I could experiment and print the step wedge with a a number of 
different curves - but what should I look for - the most even 
distribution of tones? Better separation at the dark end?  Watch out 
for reversal of densitities at the dark end?
