Did I hear you say earlier that you used RGB files?

If so, you might want to go to a grayscale gray gamma 2.2 as a uniform format. QTR will use some standard RGB to GS conversion, but if something had altered your RGB layers in processing such that they were not equal, color "pollution" might impact the results. It's just one variable that is real easy to eliminate.

Thanks, Paul... looks like l deleted my original post, but it was in your reply. I was going to reword it before anyone replied but I didn't act quickly enough.


At any rate, I did run a nozzle check, and got a perfect pattern. I'll get working on a new curve per your instructions and also the QTR manual.


What's interesting is that another photograph printed out just fine. It has some shadows too but they were not colorized.


Thanks for your help, as always.
