Available Curves for Mediastreet Quad Black Ink and Mediastreet Paper

Available Curves for Mediastreet Quad Black Ink and Mediastreet Paper

2006-09-20 by gasparri50

I am interested in printing in black and white using pure pigment inks, 
no dye. I do not yet own a printer supported by Quadtone RIP and would 
likely buy the Epson R320. The only supported ink so far as I know is 
from Mediastreet. Mediastreet told me that the Quad Black Photo Glossy, 
which would of course require a glossy paper, is their only pure 
pigment (no dye) black ink. They recommended Generation G-Chrome Glossy 
as a suitable paper for that ink.

Does Quadtone RIP support the combination of Mediastreet Quad Black 
Photo Glossy ink and Mediastreet Generation G-Chrome Glossy paper?

I do not have and do not want to buy a densitometer to do my own curves 
and all my attempts to find someone who will do curves for me 
commercially have failed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

No one knows the answer to this? I don't want to buy the printer and
then discover that the paper and ink recommended by Mediastreet are not
supported.

Hi 

I'm afraid I can't answer your question on the Epson R320 / Mediastreet 
products. What I do know is that lany here print very happily on an 
Epson R220 with MIS UT inks. Availibility of curves should not be an 
issue in that case.
