Re: [Digital BW] Problems with VT Blax on 1270

2003-05-24 by garethlock4472

Paul, Many thanks for the files and help.  I have applied the no-
adjustment curve but to no avail.  I tried printing out the Avebury 
stones image but there was still the polarisation showing.  I ahave a 
feeling it has something to do with the image rather than the 
printing process.  

I just don't know what is wrong with the way the image is created 
that is causing the problem.  I have been wondering if the fact that 
some of the tones are missing isn't so much but rather that there is 
too much of one tone and therefore overloading the print with too 
much.

I would appreciate it if someone could produce a print on their 1270 
to see if it is a problem with the image.  I will try and hook up my 
flatbed to show what the final printed image looks like.

Thanks once gain, especially Paul.

Gareth
