Re: Revisiting Carbon 6/7/8 in 2024
Contact STS Inks down in FL. Shoot email to Joe. I¡¯ll not post his email here but it¡¯s pretty easy to deduce from what I just said.
MK = wj1082
PK = wj1122
glop = wj824
Double-check those with Joe

Re: DTP with Toyobo / Measles (Mottling) Issue
Hi Sayuri,
Thanks very much for the info.
At this stage there are pro¡¯s and con¡¯s to using Torelief plates. They may get rid of the measles problem but also may have a highlight ( tonality) issue

Re: Increasing Desnity on Negatives with QTR and QCDN
Did you calibrate your times with stouffer 31 step or did you print a 31 stepwedge and calibrate with It?
I mean to get the printing times. In calvins guide he finds time with stouffer31.

Re: Horizontal lines
Eric,
Looking at your original images the bands look approximately 1inch apart which is the head size.
So my guess is that you are seeing the variation of the inkjets -- probably normal manufacturing

I found the same thing about the dMax. However, it printed perfectly when
I followed Calvin¡¯s instructions for the 7 layer monochrome. I arrived at

Re: Increasing Desnity on Negatives with QTR and QCDN
Hello, Clay. I have printed a step wedge with your calibration file and the Dmax is 1.60 i can't get more than that. I suspect that my film can't handle more ink. Or maybe your file was at 50% curve.
