inkseparation print does not contain black
2006-01-15 by Piet Weber
Hi, I have been trying to print the inkseparation pattern for a new paper/ink-combination on my 2100. I do get the colored ink printed, but not the black wedge and text. I have done paper calibration in the past, and very succesfully. I have upgraded from OSX 10.3 to 10.4 recently, and installed the newest QTR package. Could this cause a problem, or am I just forgetting something crucual. I printed the descriptor file below. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I could not find any discussion on this group regarding this problem.
