RE: Epson 3800 vs 4800 - any advice?



Quoting myself:
"...and that's Li based POP Pd + 1 drop of 1.25% AD per ml of coating solution!..."

Sorry, that should be:
"...and that's Li based POP Pd + 1 drop of 1.25% AD per *10 drops* of coating solution!..."

Hi Sandy,

Which blending mode should one use to achieve this (is it multiply +
opacity)? I have problems with the 3rd party inks I use for my 1290
(the distributor is out of stock since December). With the new 3rd
party inks, I can get only log 2.0 DR with G255 + B10 and that's Li
based POP Pd + 1 drop of 1.25% AD per ml of coating solution! I'd like
to use a much lower contrast emulsion (without contrast agent) for
smoother tones (the DR my usual coating mix is around log 2.8 - 2.9)...

Thanks in advance,
Loris.
