> I';m trying to learn the language of qidf files. Take these two: STSeb6-Pa325
Yes, I should rename lots of files, but I seldom do. Sometimes there is a text file in the download the explains my abbreviations, but often not.
Eboni v. 1.1 is based on an STS Inks (which bought the original supplier Image Specialists) carbon. I bought, tested, mixed, profiled, etc. starting with the STS product. I'm not sure MIS had changed over yet. So, the STS name is there. The bottom line is that profiles with "STS" in them are Eboni v. 1.1 inks.
PA = Premier Art/Premier Imaging. They are one of my regular suppliers (and located relatively close to me -- very convenient and good). Their Hot Press Fine Art Smooth 325 gsm paper is very good. See
> and STSeb6-Pa325-CK-Yt
One way to make a slightly more neutral profile is to use more of the 30% dilution. So, I sometimes make a C-K profile and often use it in conjunction with others in QTR.
The Yt probably makes reference to Y being the toner.
Keep in mind that I do all this stuff rather quickly, post it, and often move on to something else without necessarily making the everything totally turnkey. Users have to have some of the fun of setting up their systems. That's part of what forces one to learn the medium.
