Printing inkseparation.tif under Windows QTR

2005-01-03 by koloshor

OK, it's driving me up the wall. I've tried it through QTRgui, setting Options->Calibration Mode

I've tried it through the batch files, setting ColorModel QTcal

And it keeps printing out in cyan and magenta. I can't get anything like the chart in Calibration.rtfd/img1.jpg where you see each channel printed out.

On paper, I get almost exactly the same thing you see if you open inkseparation.tif in PhotoShop, the GIMP, or IrfanView.

On the Epson 2200, it's not much of a problem, I can skip inkseparation.tif and just keep printing good old 21step.tif seven times on one page, with a set of 7 calibration curves, each only using one channel in calibration mode, and offestting an additional inch for each one.

But the problem is that, right now, I'm trying to profile a stinking Epson 7600, and feeding a letter sized sheet into that 7 times is a major production. Multiply that by 2 or 3 paper types, and eeech!

Anyone managed to successfully print inkseparation.tif? Anyone?
