Dear Simon Here goes; Printed out 1 copy for you an a 2100/CIS Lyson/ NB profiled - although not for Epson Matt h/weight. The B to W grad is perfect. Spectrum grad: Is a smooth grad but for some reason I'm seeing 'banding' for lack of a better description between blue to turquoise through to the start of the green & then a little bit between green through to yellow. Nothing in the red>mag. Mag>blue or yellow to orange. Now, onto the 1290. Not profiled at all using Epson inks on a gash piece of Lyson Smooth Fine Art. It's just come out of the printer ....... Interesting - colours all to cock! (Don't know how I managed to successfully print out masses of prints/folios that matched the trannies??) Anyway, forgetting any strange colour shifts, here we go. B to W perfect. Spectrum:- red through to green all smooth grads. Tiny bit of banding between the green to yellow & then perfect again. Interesting that the any of the banding things should be in different places on the 2 printers & 2 paper stocks. I'll have a go on the 2100 using Lyson SFA that I have a profile for & keep posted. Hope this is of some help. -- Regards David Preutz =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
