Re: [QuadtoneRIP] "Solarized" appearance ?

2009-01-28 by Roy Harrington

It sounds to me like you are seeing what is often called "bronzing".
Unfortunately this is a function of the ink on photo paper (rather than matte).
The original UltraChrome inks typically do this.  Some people spray the
prints and I've heard that helps.  This is the main reason there aren't many
photo paper profiles.   BTW, the newer UC-K3 inks are much better in this
respect (but that doesn't help the 2200).
