RE: Fotonic and Generations Pigmented inks

[Daniel Salzedo <Daniel@rimasystem.com>]

Dear Jerry

Can we assume you are comparing prints in 4 colors with a 3000 (As the
Fotonics are only available in CMYK at present, although Generations is
available in 6 colors)
Assuming this is the case I am not surprised that results with CIE/Wide
Gamut space were lousy. I believe these settings are only intended for
printers with a Hi-Fi/Hexachrome-style CMYKOG 6 color set.

Also what kind of paper are doing your test printing on?

Has anybody tried BOTH the Lyson Fotonic Inks and the Luminos Silver
inks?  If so, Do you feel they are identical, or nearly so? OR does one
have slightly more brilliant colors than the other?

Tonight I have so far made about 20 prints, each printed with a
different color space, but otherwise identical settings. I cannot
BELIEVE the difference in these spaces! Some make OUTSTANDING quality
prints, (NSNTC Space, sRGB space, and some are truly Lousy! (CIE space,
and Wide Gamut space).

I'm testing Media Streets Pigmented inks against the Fotonics. So far,
the Fotonics are a little more brilliant, but using a couple of the
above spaces, the pigmented Generation inks are awfully close. And the
Pigmented inks are archival to over a hundred years!

I still have about 20 to go. Will keep you posted.

Jerry
