Purge K curve for the Epson 3880

2014-03-30 by <al.benas@...>

After 2.5 years, my Epson 4900 choked up and refused to unplug several ink lines. I replaced it with the 3880 - rarely used the roll, so it seemed the way to go. The problem is that I had grown addicted to the Purge K curve for the 4900 - I really liked the all black (M/PK) look with the paper-white background. The 3880 does not have that option in its canned curves.
Has anyone developed such a curve for the 3880 or seen one anywhere. I have no equipment/software capability to build my own curves; basically tweek the best canned option to match my work. On the modern printers, the B/O print looks just as detailed as the multi-dilution black print, but has a certain look that I find very nice. And I've had no luck finding a way to override the Epson driver to use B/O in high-end printing. The QTR 4900 curve was it.
