Innova Soft Textured Natural White

2010-03-05 by siiaam

Hello,

I am printing with an Epson 3800 loaded with UC K3 ink.
After determining the ink limits and crossovers I printed a 21 step wedge in order to linearize it. For printing the wedge I have chosen the HPhotoRag-neut raw curve.
Unfortunately the highlights do have a green tint.
Also, the Dmax I reach is 1,51. According to Clayton Jones' website he measured a Dmax of 1,62 for the same ink/paper combination...

I am not that experienced with QTR. So I appreciate any suggestion that may improve my results.
