Hi all,
A long time forum lurker, now needing your assistance.
I've recently purchased Canson Baryta Photographique 310gsm paper. I'm printing with a 9500 Mk II, using Precision Colors ink, and am having problems with the ink density in the darks I think. I've played with a few test prints, using Canson's ICC profile, and have done some adjustments to get the prints looking good, mainly an increase of saturation in the yellows. With the more accurate looking prints, the dark areas are prone to severe smearing and are easily scratched, even after letting dry for 24 hours. The original test print, before any yellow saturation adjustments were done, seems to be doing OK. Do you think there's too much density built up in the shadows? Would a custom profile help this?
Any suggestions, experiences, or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Tom
