Default Too much black ink for canvas

While printing on canvas the black ink is so heavy that much of it doesn't soak in, leaving a glossy look when the rest is flat. If I use a gloss treatment over the whole print, it's not noticeable, but sometimes I want to keep the image flat/matte. I'm using canvas made for paint jets and was told this wouldn't happen. It is much better than the canvas I was buying from Micheal's, but still a problem.

My question is, is there anyway to turn down just the black ink without effecting the other inks? I don't want to resort to lightening the dark areas with software. Thanks.

Default Re: Too much black ink for canvas

I am not sure with your rip for blazer, but in my rip on my HM1 I have slider barsin the ink configuration settings that I can set the % of each color I want to print. I would look to see if you have these settings in your rip. I print mine at 720 x 720 vivid darker on my HM1 as far as the type setting, again dont know if you have this setting either Hope this helps.
