Re: [Digital BW] QTR/Curves & Glossy vs. Matte Printing

Thanks for the reply Steve!

I understand what you are relaying.  I do however have a couple of 
questions for clarification.

>....Think of QTR as simply a tool to say to the printer "spray from 
that cartridge at this rate when receiving this image value".<

Does the newer version of QTR allow me to do this?  To individually 
control what ink cartridge is sprayed when?  Has anyone developed a 
process to replace any of the existing cartridge spaces with glop 
using QTR?

>....I think your choice of inks is better determined by other 
factors than whether you will spray.  For example do you want to move 
to a dedicated B&W ink set?<

Right now the answer is no.  I know it is heresy but I also like to 
produce prints in color.  I am looking at possibly purchasing a Epson 
4000 in the future at which time one printer could be dedicated to 
B&W.  With that understanding, & with the 13" vs. 17" size difference 
aside, which printer would you recommend dedicating to B&W?  Also, 
would your go MIS inks using QTR or Roy's solutions?
Please keep in mid that I would really like the ability to product 
great prints on E surface looking papers in both b&w and color!

Thanks again,
Bruce
