Re: 2880dpi

2008-02-27 by Tyler Boley

Unless you are making your own ink setups and profiles for 1440, and
directly comparing to your results from your own ink setups and
profiles made similarly at 2880, results won't mean much.
Only 2880 curves were provided, while using them at 1440 may work, but
it will undoubtedly not be linearized optimally.
