Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Eddie I've found it.

David explained it works for both Mac and Windows, so I had a go at installing them into Windows QTR, although I am still awaiting the ink set from Ink Supply so not abble to do any test prints.

1. In the QTR forum, go to Files>Curves>Epson 1400>QT_1400_UT14.zip and open the file.
2. Open the Ink Descriptor file folder.
3. Copy the required files(bo, cool, warm) to the 1400-mis folder in QuadToneRIP>Profiles.
4. Open the QTR programme and click on Tools>Curve Creator>Printer Model>Quad1400-MIS
5. Click on File>Open>Look In>1400-mis.
6. Change File type to All Files.
7. Click on one of the files you copied to the 1400-mis folder in 3. above and click Open.
8. The Curve Creator will then show a description of the file contents (Ink Limit, densities, liearization etc.
9. Save the file, naming it with an informative name, say UT14-EEnMatte-cool.qidf.
10. When you open QTR this curve will appear in the list of curves available.

It's important to read David Goldenburg's Readme file for his recommendations with regard to blending of curves to produce different tones.

There are cool and warm tones for three different papers and a BO for Epson Enhanced Matte.

Thank you David for these curves - I will repost when I have had a chance to try them.

Unless of course you are using the Epson driver with your 1400 , using paul's recommendations
