Creating new curve Text File - 2 questions

2014-08-01 by robert@...

1. When creating a new text file (to print a step wedge), I'm copying one I have that works pretty well; however, it has a Gray Curve that I want to eliminate for my step wedge. So, I simply copied the text file, renamed it, and deleted the link after GRAY_CURVE=. I noticed above on line 3 there is command: GRAPH_CURVE=YES. Do I have to change this if I delete the GRAY_CURVE, or is the GRAPH_CURVE command something different?


2. I'm using an Epson R2880 with PBK ink, and my blackest blacks are not as black as I like when I print the step wedge (Palladium). The ink settings in the Text File are below. QUESTION: is there a simple change I can make to make my blacks darker without substantially changing my mid-tones?
