Re: PrintFx Pro Profile with R1800 and CIS

2008-03-20 by Roger

What settings did you use to profile the printer?  I'm finding that 
ICM OFF yields a grayscale with some bad color crossovers.  Color 
controls gamma 2.2 and Epson Standard seems to be more even if a bit 
bluish.  I'm also finding that I get density reversals with ICM off. 

So even though this isn't standard practice I'm going to try to make 
profiles using Image Specialist ink in a R1800 on Premium Semigloss 
using Premium Luster paper type (better dmax), Color controls-2.2-
epson standard, and best photo (better dmax and no density reversals).

I'll let you know how it works out.
