Sandy King Question All are welcome to weigh in

2016-12-18 by peterjbh@...

Sandy I really appreciate the wealth of information you have provided. From the building of my lightbox to studying you profiles. I do Pt/Pd printing.


Question:

I have written a profile for my 7800 which uses four inks which I'm pleased with but want to incorporate a feature from your Carbon100 profile.


Here is my profile

#7800 CONE PIGMENT INKs


Printer=Quad7800

#Curve_name=7800 4 ink LM,LK,LLK,K

CALIBRATION=NO

GRAPH_CURVE=NO



# Gray Partitioning Information


N_OF_INKS=8


DEFAULT_INK_LIMIT=50

N_OF_GRAY_PARTS=4


GRAY_INK_1=K

GRAY_VAL_1=100


GRAY_INK_2=LK

GRAY_VAL_2=42.142


GRAY_INK_3=LLK

GRAY_VAL_3=13.64


GRAY_INK_4=LM

GRAY_VAL_4=7.27



Gray_OVERLAP=15

GRAY_HIGHLIGHT=0

GRAY_SHADOW=6

GRAY_GAMMA=1

#GRAY_CURVE=


# LINEARIZE=


Before I do a final curve I want to add a feature in which the rest of the inks (M, C, LC, Y) are used but at LIMIT1 as you did below. I've tried several variations but looking at the QUAD profile I know they won't work. Can that be written into my profile above?


Thanks,

Peter
