Exactly. That is :-) Regards, Marti. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Brackett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 9:50 PM Subject: RE: [Lcms-user] Lot of questions! ;) When the printer is putting down a lot of ink it is trying to make a very dark color. As I understand it, the printer prints K last, so it is "over" the CMY and hides it to a fair extent (look-up undercolor removal). Reducing CMY ink while leaving K alone apparently gets you closer to the right color than reducing all 4 evenly. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gerhard > Fuernkranz > Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 12:25 PM > To: Marti Maria > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Lcms-user] Lot of questions! ;) > > > > Hi Marti, > thanks for the explaination. > > > In such situation you need something that > > simply limits the quantity of total ink but keeps the > > proportion of CMY and keeps K ink untouched.
