tweak quad file, high tones a bit too hot

2014-09-28 by paulmwhiting@...

I took a (color) digital photo and after converting it to b/w, I printed it out, and it was fine on the monitor. But in the print my highlights are not blown out by any means, just a bit "hot". Am using EB6 inkset on an Epson 1400 and the QTR quad file for that inkset.

Is there a tweak in its QTR qidf I can alter to tone that down without having to re-linearize? A bit lazy, I know. I know how to tweak the qidf file, it's in simple text format - maybe lower the LIMIT_Y=70? or GRAY_VAL_6=11? or?

Thanks all,

Paul
