Digital BW, The Print

I don¹t want to argue with you (I am essentially agreeing with you) but my
point is that the sooner Roy gets paid $50 a person (the current ³donation²
for QTR) the more likely he will be able to get a broader array of profiles
up for different machines.  I think QTR is fantastic and I have paid my $50.
I encourage those that would like to use QTR or get additional QTR profiles
prepared to pay $50 ­ if on spec.  Roy has an order in for a 4000 (I
believe) and I am sure would love to have QTR earn him enough money to also
afford a 7600.  So pile on in and let¹s help him out!

(I would caution though that it is unrealistic to expect Roy to be able to
profile every possible ink set.  One of the beauties of QTR is that it is
infinitely flexible.  Others have the ability to profile as well and may
kindly pitch in for various ink and printer combinations.  But the more
people who pay the small amount Roy has asked then the more resources Roy
has to work with.  And also, I think you will find that if you can borrow a
photospectrometer (which may be a big if) then profiling is not as hard as
you might think.  I am not a technophile but am starting to get the hang of
it with Roy and Carl¹s help.  I wish I had a 7600.  BTW, how do you
calibrate your work or do you not do any colour work at all?)

"Then buy QTR and pay your $50...."

You miss my point.  I already have QTR.  What I don't have is the time,
ability 
or desire to learn how to use a spectrometer or whatever in order to use QTR
to drive the Piezo or other grayscale inkset.  Not everyone will agree with
my 
perspective, of course, but I'm willing to bet there are a lot of
photographers 
who are not technophobes but are also not technophiles, and feel the same
way.
