Re: 4800 Colorbase (color issue)

2006-01-16 by Olivier

I'm sure they are excellent, but in my case I got the 4800 for 
printing portraits on matte papers. The skin tone needs to be as 
natural as possible which I can not get on a 1800. In fact I was 
printing portraits in B/W piezo so I'm away of ugly renderings.

On USFA the tone is precisely what I was expecting and matches what I 
view on the screen, so Colorbase+custom profiling adds something for 
me. I'd just like to be able to reproduce it on EEM (Archival Matte) 
so I can fully proof the print before using more expensive papers.
