MIS VM CMYK workaround on an Epson 740

MIS VM CMYK workaround on an Epson 740

2002-02-13 by millerhillsteve

Well after I finally got rid of the microbanding....about 5 purges 
and 4-5 CMYK purge prints.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to work around the CMYK workflow. I 
don't have a full version of Photoshop...just LE. No doubt there are 
threads relative to this, but I haven't seen them.

Any suggestions?

Steve

Steve,

I am certain that any CMYK workflow is not justifiable. EPSONs we are
told are RGB printers which means they can only use RGB images. You
would not have control with CMYK as a workflow mode. It is just
another way to describe RGB as far as your printer is concerned. It
is like your printer only speaks RGB and you will be speaking CMYK
and it will do its best to translate your CMYK into its language. Can
you see that when this happens you do not have justifiable control? I
have had my share of troubles learning new languages and an EPSON can
not do this.

You are probably more of an expert than me. But it is to my
satisfaction that I have organized my information so that I do not
make mistakes which others have wasted their time on. My 4x6 card
file is filled enough with reasons why CMYK is not a good idea on
EPSON printers! I hope that I save you some time.
