Re: [Digital BW] QTR printing directly to Windows printer

2004-12-23 by steveabrink

Good news on Steve's and Mike Hung's changes to the QTR GUI.  I 
loaded it on my W2K box and it ran first time! Great job guy's...  I 
never got the networked version to run, period.  

Very neutral prints and great profile selection for the 4000! I'm 
planning on printing an exhibition of work with QTR after more 
testing...  And for those of you running Eric Bullock's small gamut 
profiles for B&W, there is small difference in the neutrality of the 
highlights, but his B&W profiles are still a good low hassle way to 
go if for some reason you don't want to use a RIP. 

I have a question are the sliders to adjust neutrailty for light 
viewing condtions?  Approx. what K temp is the 50-50 setting? 

For B&W printing, ImagePrint has some serious competition... 

Thanks!
