Re: Split Toning with QTR

2006-10-10 by Carl Schofield

The low gamut profiles are not intended for printing full color RGB images.  If you try to 
print a full color image you would see heavily muted red, yellows, greens, etc. and near 
normal blue and magenta hues.  The low gamut profile is only for printing neutral or 
toned (eg. warm, cool, selenium, split, etc.) grayscale images in RGB mode with a LLK 
carbon ink subsituted for yellow.
