Dear Tim,
Could you keep us informed on your future tests ?
I'm pretty interested by the subject too. Unfortunately, without having enough
energy/time/money to spend on it.
Aside Dan Burkholder's book, there is also Mark Nelson's e-book
(http://www.precisiondigitalnegatives.com), basically a procedure to calculate
Photoshop curves to linearize the curve on the output paper (whatever it is).
He also set up a mailing-list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PDNPrint/) but the
major activity is on alternative processes where the flaws of inkjet negatives
show less.
Thanks and best regards,
Claudio Bonavolta
