[Gimp-print-devel] How to use special Inks?

[regis r. <re...@re...>]

Hello,

How can I use specials Inks?
For N&B I want to use MIS Inks. How to setup the print plug-in for it?

See http://www.missupply.com/ for colors and N&B archivals Inks.

I have an EX printer (I have buy the same printer than the Master (aka rlk))
(NB for rlk: now prints are Ok with 3.0.6 ... I don't have anymore the previous
problem and I can't explain it)

the procedure for Photoshop:


            Procedure for Epson Stylus Photo 700 and Photo EX printers 

           This procedure is for printing Quadtones on an Epson Photo 700 or
Photo EX printer. Note that it is for coated paper only, like Somerset
Enhanced, Concord Rag or photo glossy paper.

            Note: If you get excessive bleeding or dot gain on Concord Rag, try
drying the paper in a microwave oven. Accumulated moisture or high humidity
will cause bleeding.

                Color setup conversion for Photoshop: 

                      CMYK conversion:

                      Click on... File | Color Settings | CMYK set up | Built
in | SWOP coated | 20% dot gain |
                      UCR

                      RGB conversion:

                      Click on...File | Color Settings | RGB Setup | Adobe RGB
or Monitor RGB 

            3. 
                Scan a photograph grayscale or RGB at maximum scanner optical
resolution. 
            4.
                Convert to RGB or CMYK:

                Comment: Perhaps CMYK gives a bit better black, but the file
size is larger.  You will probably need to lighten the image to print
correctly.  We suggest a curves adjustment in Photoshop because it does not
clip image data.  Some prefer an adjustment curve and others prefer to make a
curve and save it and apply it in Page Setup in the Transfer function. The
essence is that the image is probably going to need lightening somehow.
