Re: Epson 1290 and UT2 with Eboni or Photo Black

2011-06-29 by Mel

Well I just answered my own question.

I opened the Curve Creator tool and looked at the inks Roy has used.

The UT2 Black ink is not actually used with the Luster paper it's just a mixture of rest in the positions of C, M, LC and LM with addition of Y for Sepia.

It would be nice if someone could produce a step by step "Idiots Guide" for we 1290 users for producing QTR curves - surely someone has done their own curves for this printer.
