Re: [QuadtoneRIP] LK and LLK used in color printing with Epson 7800?

2014-12-24 by Myron Gochnauer

My understanding is that the LK and LLK are used by the Epson driver in color printing where the print color is relatively neutral.

My understanding - - and perception! - - of color is deficient, to say the least, but I thought that “adding black” was one way of manipulating the “pure” colors (hues?). I know that adding neutral grey to too-bright yellow, for instance, results in more subdued, but equally yellow, yellow. . . if that makes sense.
