[alt-photo] Re: On going 2440 ink density issues - screenshots

[John Brewer]

Hi Clay

Thanks for the suggestion, it is an option I have thought about. I don't
really want to take this route though as it's a printer at work which means
I'd have to call in the computer guy to install things like drivers.
Additionally I don't want to/have time to learn anything new so if there
isn't an easy fix I'll take my laptop and 1290 into work.

Best wishes,

John.

Hi John,

I highly recommend that you investigate using the QTR RIP driver. It allows
you to lay down as much ink as the substrate will hold. It is no sweat
getting densities in excess of 3.2 with the inks on the 2440. I suspect you
are being stymied by the Epson driver.

Ron Reeder's site and hybridphoto.com contain a lot of information about
using this approach.
