Re: Printing the inkseperation.psd

2012-02-14 by bkeesinguk

Hi Alan,
I will send some screen shots thought soon. Can you please confirm what inkseparation file you are printing? I was using the inkseparation8.tif from the images folder as this has the 8 inks for the epson 4800. 
On a slightly different note, the epson driver works pretty well. I custom profiled the paper i use using the 51 step grey tif and load this profile in CS5 when printing. Results are amazing!! Am I going to see better results with QTR?
Thanks
