light prints with UT14 on glossy

light prints with UT14 on glossy

2009-02-18 by Matthew Newhook

I posted before about having dark prints with UT14 on Epson Premium matte with an Epson 
1400. Now I'm having the opposite problems with Kirkland Glossy. When I'm using the ICC 
that Paul has on his website, my prints are way too light. With the warm ICC, I'm getting 
better, but overly dark prints. 

Ideally I'd like to go through the same exercise as I did with the epson matte, and use a 
graycard to create a custom profile. However, I understand the process is somewhat 
difference due to the glop, and perhaps mixing of two channels for black? Is there a 
document somewhere I can read on this?

The Create ICC-RGB process is the same with the glop in there.  I 
have curves in the download that can be used.  At lease some have the 
glop activated.

Be sure the driver settings are correct.  There is a difference 
between matte and glossy papers.

To follow up on this, I checked into this today, and to make a long story short, I was out of 
ink in three of the carts! After re-filling the carts, life is good again!

Regards, Matthew
