Hey David,

While setting up my Epson 10K today with the Piezotone NK6 monochrome
inks I did a test just sending the file through the standard Epson 10K
RGB driver, assigning the file a Grey Gamma 2.2 print space as a
profile and was shocked to see how nice and smooth the prints were
with a total black and almost ready to go, no posterization or strange
gamma.

The 10K is a little different than some of the 6 channel Epson
machines in that it utilizes a variable dot dither to the driver. Roy
doesn't have this really linearized for QTR and my using the 9500 raw
curve to linearize may or may not work out.

My question is (before buying Studio Print 12) is do you think it is
possible to create a good linearization using an RGB workflow out of
PFP by printing out the color patches and then utilizing the extended
greyscale patches to suppliment that? I'm using it already for color.

Hell it sure worked great with the 9600 and Ultrachrome for very
smooth neutral glossy monochrome. But then that is a different animal.
