Re: New to Linearize Piezo K7 inks with Eye One 2 X-Rite software

my understanding, in our little print world.. "linear" is only meaningful in the sense that it applies to some standard. These 2 approaches are really no different, but they linearize to 2 different standards, that's all. One LAB, one gamma 2.2. There isn't really a "best" way, these decisions all have pluses and minuses. TO be honest, because I use a different RIP, I work in grayscale dot gain 20%. I've had no problem printing to QTR standard LAB based curves, or Cone 2.2 based curves, buy preconverting- either to one or the other workspaces, or a qtr custom icc profile, or Roy's supplied LAB output profiles, for either method. If you use Print Tool, preconversion is not necessary. Tyler
