Re: PFP 10K and Six Mono Inks

2007-04-04 by john dean

David,

I'm experimenting with this today.

I just printed out the 225 patch PFP target with the K6 on the 10K,
carefully measured the patches, generated the RGB profile, and used it
to print a drum scanned file that I am familiar with. The file is very
is very subtle and has an extreme dynamic range from white to black.

The tonality is beautiful and very smooth, smoother than I'm getting
with QTR so far on this machine. It is very delicate. However, the
dmax is weak, it is measuring 1.58 while my usual QTR dmax is reading
1.68. It is black, just not dense enough. No posterization of any kind
though. 

Is there anything I can do with PFP to increase these dmax numbers
without effecting the highlights and midtones? I saw there was a
custom setting for "contrast" but that would effect the highlights too.

Any suggestions on things to try with this?

John
