Re: Epson 1280 and K6 ink

2009-11-17 by piezobw

Here is an example of our most popular K6 ink, its called Special Edition K6 and its a triple split tone from neutral into selenium and finally sepia shadows:

But click on each of the ink families and if you do not see a six shade ink set - just select shades 1 - 6 individually.

Special Edition K6 is one of our best selling inks and we still support six ink printers like the 1400.  K6 is K7 minus shade 7.

The QTR works differently than the old plugin software or the next generation PiezographyBW ICC.  We converted the Piezography profiler to compile curves for QTR and provided the curves to Roy to include in the $50 download of QTR. It's very easy to use when you do not have to make your own curves. With the included K6 curves its very similar to the plugin - just select your paper and go...  If you need a profile for something we did not produce - we can make customs for you.

regards,

Jon
