Re: one ink missing in print on 3880 using K7 carbon

2015-01-26 by richard@...

Sometimes the Shade 7 prints so light is hard to see on the nozzle check pattern. If you print the ink separation page in calibration mode set with an ink limit at around 50 it will be easier to see if there is a problem with it not firing.

If you want to print one ink only you can open the ink separation page in photoshop, crop to the channel you want to print and save it as something like "ink-sep_LK.tif" and make sure you do not embed an icc profile. then you can print only that in calibration mode at whatever ink limit you want as to not waste ink in the other channels.
