I have learned a lot from the extra efforts of the members here. I have applied what they have taught me, tweaked, modified, thrown away and re-invented ways to accomplish my goals. My waste can is always full of my experiments gone bad. This whole thing is a learning experience and the...
A new kid here.
A little off topic: unevenness and muddiness in shadows is a tough one. The individual colored inks and black ink densities and how they are mixed in the driver, added to how that paper reacts, is one of the reasons many of us have gone to a RIP driver over the OEM one. I...
I recently ordered my first OCP inkset (Epson K3) for my 2400 with the vivid magentas per everyone's recommendations here. Swapping out Lyson's Cave Paint. Too $$$$$. Rjettek said they will be stocking the vivid in small quantities in case anyone is interested.

When measuring Argyll targets with a Colormunki, I use an old T-square from my paper drafting days and a small flat top table with a fairly straight edge on it. Once I align the printed columns with the edge of the T-square, I tape the target down with Scotch removable tape. I then can center...
I'm a retired old guy, that does a lot of printing...mostly making laminated wallet cards for self-help groups.
