Profiles for Moab Kayenta

Profiles for Moab Kayenta

2005-10-12 by adolphamster

I would like to use Moab Kayenta with Quadtone RIP and my Epson 1280
printer equipped with MIS inks. Is a profile available? If so, where
can I find and obtain it?

Thank you.

Just a quick response. Try the Epson Enhanced Matte curve/neutral and 
see how it works with the paper. If you can't linearize/icc it 
yourself, see if someone you know has a densitometer to use for the 
tuning of the existing curve(s). Someone on the list may have such a 
curve already done they will share with you.

It ;didn't occur to me that you could just enter new densitometer readings and not go through the characterization of the inks. I'll try that.

If you are going to re-linearize a curve that has already been linearized,
make sure you clear out the linearized values before printing the stepwedge.
On the PC the process for re-linearizing an existing curve is:

 

1.	opening the curve in the curve creation window
2.	in the Linearize Tab, selecting the clear button
3.	saving the curve under a new name (not absolutely necessary, but a
good idea so you don't over-write the existing curve)
4.	selecting the Create Curve
5.	printing the stepwedge with the new curve
6.	measuring the densities (or L* values) for the new curve
7.	entering the new densities into the Linearization Tab
8.	doing a create curve again

 

You should now have a linearized curve.
