Subject: OT Sharpening for D-Lab 2 Prints
Hi Team,
Has anyone here done any experiments to determine the optimum sharpening to
apply to image files destined to print on a D-Lab 2? I just received a 12x8" D-
Lab 2 test print back and details appear far less acute than a print from the
same file made on a relatively inexpensive Epson ink jet at A4 :-(
You will need to work with the lab on this one.
The degree of sharpening is user defined, and can be altered to suit the market.
I find that I need to keep in lab sharpening quite low to compensate for the stupid tits that oversharpen their work.
It makes it a bit of a pain, as I either have to go into the setup and reset the sharpness for my own work, or profile my work to match the machine (which is what I do, it's too easy to forget to change a setting back when finished).
Inkjet printers are inherently sharper than digital to photo paper printers.
