How to Print "CMYK LC LM" test print?

[Nikonian Foo]

Hello,

I need to do a test print on inkjet paper with 6 colour bars on my Epson R210...Using photoshop, I can get CMYK but I dunno how many percent of cyan makes light cyan and how many percent of magenta makes up light magenta. Issit 50%? Thanks...

You can get the calibration bars printed out by Photoshop itself... no need to go and mix the colours by yourself.

Go to Print with Preview (ALT+CTRL+P), make sure Show More Options is checked. In the drop down menu, select Output, from there you have all the options you can select - calibration bars, registration marks, crop marks etc etc.

Here you go.....

Black RGB 0,0,0
Cyan RGB 0,0,255
Magenta RGB 255,0,255
Yellow RGB 255,255,0
Photo Cyan RGB 124,255,253
Photo Magenta RGB 254,121,229

Create 6 Colour Bars using the above values in any image editing program, save and print test with any 6 colour printers.

Any mistake in your original post? Should Cyan be 0,255,255 instead? Anyway, thanks for the values, where did you get them from?

Nope no mistake here...... please give a try you will know if it's right.

As I have two printers being hook up with CIS, I sometime need to purge it with this test. Therefore I create it with photoshop.
