Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Anyone tried creating their own profiles for Piezography inks?

2011-09-08 by Michael King

Hi Sean,

Yes I have. Wrote a linearization tool in Excel that linearizes piezo
profiles for my paper/printer.

Also experimented with creating QTR style profiles for piezo inks. There are
pluses and minuses to both profile approaches.
Jon's piezo profiles have a lot of overlapping inks and that creates a very
smooth tonality that is very resistant to posterization.
But lots of inks @ dmax rarely gives the best dmax.
