Re: Individual Ink Printing with QuadtoneRIP

Gary,
Thank you so much for your suggestions.  Your help will get me started in the right direction and hopefully I will be able to accomplish the "look" I am hoping to achieve!
Thanks again!
John

If using a Mac, you will need to duplicate an existing profile, open it in a text editor, modify the values to your purposes, and then install it.  I began exploring this when I couldn't get the inkseparation.tif file to print properly with SnowLeopard and CS4 (still can't, by the way...but it prints well w/WindowsXP and CS2)  To actually print a true red,  you will need to use both the magenta and yellow inks together.  Hope this helps.
