Color Space in PS 5.5
Client scans photos greyscale.
Turns into TriTone with two pantone colors.
Some print out on Epson 3000 (using the epson driver) with green cast,
some print out with majenta cast.
If a magenta colored file is copy and pasted into a green colored, it will
then print out green.
The Mode is tritone with the correct pantones in each.
The profile is set for Ekta - something in each.
Where is the mistake being made?
Thanx

Re: Color Space in PS 5.5
Creating duotone, tritone, and quadtone curves that don't end up looking like a muddy
mess is an art unto itself.
Personally, I wouldn't attempt a tritone or quadtone without using an existing successful
curve as a reference. You really need to understand the distributions for each curve or get
very lucky.
In the Photoshop/Presets folder there are a number of tritone and quadtone curves. I
would suggest working from them as a starting point.
