Hi,
I am trying to control the amount of ink being put down when using the
standard Epson
driver for the 6 color Artisan 1430 printer. I am attempting to do this using
Argyll with
a RGB profile and calibration method.
this is unlikely to be successful. In RGB modes you will have little or no
control over the amount of ink, because it is being controlled by the separation
tables in the Epson driver.
You can only control ink if you are driving a printer in a CMYK mode when
using ArgyllCMS profiles.
So you should either look towards whatever controls Epson provide
in their printer driver over the print mode/paper type etc., or
switch to a driver that may offer more control over what each
print channel is being sent (i.e. GutenPrint).
Cheers,
