Re: prints too dark

2005-08-12 by edrudolpho

Hi Andreas.... are you printing at 2880 dpi?  Printing at 2880 with a curve that was built at 
1440 can darken your print.  If you are printing at 2880 and are using a curve that doesn't 
have 2880 in its name, i.e., is meant to be printing at 1440, then you should set an ink 
limit of -45% in the Quad driver.
