Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: 'state of the art' B&W print inkset/printer?

2009-02-26 by Dileepa Wijesundera

Hi Randy
Is this something you experienced or is it just my system,
On the inkseparation.psd print when the densities are measured is it
possible to get a higher density for 100%LM patch compared to K.?
The order I get on Epson Prem Gloss/UT14 inkset on a 1400 printer is
LM,C,M,LM,K
Is this possible or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks
