Re: Piezography soft proof...

2006-07-24 by Tyler Boley

the bottom line is that you need a lot more info about West Coast
Imaging's system. Peizography alone doesn't tell you much. There have
been several wasy to print from several RIPs or drivers, with or
without profiles, and different ink sets as well.
If you wanted to try making a custom dot gain setting for
soft-proofing yourself, at the least you'd need a sample print and the
source file.
