Re: 1100 & Eboni-4

2011-02-24 by Paul

I updated the 1100 Eboni-4 PDF.  

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/1100-Eb4.pdf

The reason for the update is that I was able to profile Premier Art's Smooth BW with a new Photoshop curve that holds down the total ink load while still partitioning the inks for the best smoothness and best tones.  This allows PaSmoothBW, the most neutral printing paper with Eboni-6, to print with a lab b that starts at about -1 for the paper white, is about +1 for the 50% patch, and peaks at 1.5.  This makes a rather neutral 100% carbon print.  This curve #2 is in the Zip file of 1100 profiles. ICC with the latest curve is #2.

The curve smooths the cross-overs and has been working on several different papers with the only changes needed being to set the black point where the dmax is best for the particular paper.

The 1100 keeps getting better.
