tweaking by hand

2015-01-29 by jacques.caron@...

Hi

Working with a 1430, Eboni 6 configuration (standard ink dilution- bought 6 bottles already made), I am nearly there. Since I will always have differences between my monitor and the final print, I want to tweak a curve by hand. Looking at my prints, there is a small lack of contrast but, more important, it looks like there is a lot of compression in the blacks (loosing definition).


I don't know what to change in an already made .qidf profile; for comparison, I tried to lower the ink limit (from 35 to 30) and see if there is any differences. To my eyes there is not much.


As for printing a greyscale, reading it and linearize, I've done that quite a few times but for most part, the QTR Linearize data cannot work since it seems that there is too little differences in readings?!?


Actually I'm quite happy with the profile made by Mr.Roark (Eb6-EpsHPn-T (even if I use the Cold Press instead of the Hot Press). Where to look for in all the lines of the profile???


Thanks
