Re: [Digital BW] QTR: Using a Tone Curve with the "wrong" paper

2004-12-24 by Carl Schofield

Lou,

I posted these .quad files for PC users in the group a couple of months 
ago.  The MBW should work fine for your Entrada Bright White.

Carl

I've put a zip archive containing Epson 2200 QTR profiles (.quad files) 
for several papers on my filesharing site.  The file to download is 
titled QUAD2200.zip and it can be found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/scho/FileSharing2.html

The papers included are as follows:

Papers for use with UC Photo Black ink (pk):
PJO - Permajet Oyster
MCL- InkJetart Microceramic Luster (can also be used for Epson premium 
luster)
OrientalFB - Oriental Graphica Fiber Base Glossy
EPreSemiGl - Epson Premium Semigloss

Papers for use with UC Matte Black ink (mk):
MBW- Piezography Museum Bright White (also for Entrada Bright white or 
Condor BW)
EFAn - Entrada Fine Art Natural
HPR - Hahnemuhle Photo Rag
PremierFineArt - Premier Fine Art Natural (same as epson ultrasmooth)
EEnhMatte -  Epson Enhanced Matte

For use with any RC paper - uses no black ink so either pk or mk can be 
loaded:
UC-RC-NoK

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
