RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Experimental Cool Curve for UC/ PK

2005-09-10 by Alex Larson

Dan:

Thank you for the alert.

I modified your experimental cool curve and I think I
have a good neutral version of it.  I tried the
suggestions you made.  I then took your curve and
bumped up Black Boost to 100% and changed it so that
it uses only the black inks.  This seemed to get me
where I wanted to go --- a good neutral print.  Then I
compared this modified Staver profile against several
other alternatives using one image.  In my view, the
best results were from the modified Staver profile ---
bumped up Black Boost and all black inks.  All I would
think to do is maybe make the shadows +2 on the GUI,
as a +5 setting was too strong for my taste.  The
UC-No Black-Neutral profile came the closest to this,
but modifying your profile was still best of about ten
prints I ran off (which included your other
suggestions).  It just has that snap that is hard to
describe.  I used Ilford Smooth Glossy for all prints
--- the profile works quite well on it.

Thank you so much!  More on this later, as I tweak it
a bit, though it is superb as is.

It's a couple of cool/neutral curves for Epson Premium
Semigloss and the MIS
PRO inkset with PK and PKN inks. They will probably
work with UC inks as
well.

They're still a work in progress. The shadows are a
little too blue and that
needs to be fixed, but they're all linearized.
