Re: one solution to "banding in shadows" problem

2008-07-22 by jesse.pesta

Question: Is there a simple way to modify a QTR profile so it 
automatically dials back the "ink limit" setting? 

FYI I'm newbie at playing around in profiles.

Or better yet, are profiles available somewhere for Epson Enhanced 
Matte or Velvet Fine Art paper for printing at 2880? (Using stock 
UltraChrome inks on a Epson 2200.)

 Many thanks again.

I also used some inkjet cleaning sheets. They made a very big 
improvement in the banding-in-shadows problem ... but didn't fix it 
entirely. So my original solution -- print at 2880, dial back 
the "ink limit" -- still works best for me. I suppose the printer is 
just getting old.
