Re: Lineariztion and Ink Partition Question

2005-10-16 by Mark Stracke

Thanks Olivier for your advice. I'm still sticking on a point or two.
Reminder: I'm trying to linearize a piezotone inkset set on an 1160
printer.

   I'm on a Mac so I don't have the QTR window. 
   After finding the ink limit from the first printing I reprinted the
inkseperation file and used the ink limit drop box in the final print
dialog to set the limit. I wanted to set 70% as my ink limit so I
chose -30 (lighter). There was virtually no difference in the
resulting print. The inks leveled out at the same point. I have
subsequently printed the file with -50(lighter) and +50(darker) and
all the prints are pretty much the same. Clearly I'm getting something
wrong here, any suggestions?
   
   set up: Inkseparation.tiff
   Mac OS X 10.4
   Photoshop 7
   open file with no color management
   source space-untagged rgb 
   print space-same as source
   mode: qtr calibration
