RE: [Digital BW] MIS UT-FS vs old Quad FS

2006-11-22 by Paul Roark

The original idea was to have the "new" UT-FS inks be just like the old
ones, so that the same curves, etc. would work.  However, I found the ramps
of each ink were slightly different.  That is, we could match the density at
one point on the ramp, but it'd be a little different at another point.  So,
for top notch results, new curves or profiles are needed.

Subject: [Digital BW] MIS UT-FS vs old Quad FS

 

I'm dusting off my old 1160 that I once used with the MIS Quad FS 
inkset. To help me decide if it is worth the effort to update my Epson 
RGB partitioning curves for use with the Epson driver or buy QTR or 
IJC/OPM, I'd like to know the corresponding Dmax for each of the UT-FS 
inks (K, C, M, Y) on EEM/EAM.

Dmax for the old Quad FS inkset was very roughly K=1.55, C=1.39, 
M=0.72, and Y=0.52

Also is the UT-FS inkset warmer, cooler, or the same as the Quad FS?

Thanks. jr
