Re: "Solarized" appearance ?

2009-01-28 by frankg_photo

I don't see a bronze tone & don't know if it's what you call
'bronzing' or not ? 

It is most evident at the edges where dark & light tones meet.

You say that it is inherent with this printer/inkset (2200, photo
black & light black) & All the gloss/semi-gloss papers ?

Now it makes sense why there aren't profiles around for this
combination, darn :-(

What sprays are recommended ?

Looks like I have to start saving to upgrade to a better inkset/printer

thanks,
Frank
