QTR 2200 Density & Contrast

2005-02-16 by krn_ptr

I have pulled my first tests with QTR on the Epson 2200 and they are  
wonderfully neutral.  They are, however, a little light and don't match the 
monitor tonality or the density of the same (greenish) image printed with the 
Epson driver.  I'm printing on Velvet Fine Art and I've used both the EEM and 
PFA profiles with little or no difference in density.  I dropped a contrasty curve 
layer on the image in CS to see if the paper could actually print at a higher 
density and it did.  

Is there a simple way of increasing the density and contrast in QTR?  There are 
"Expert" setting options in the QTR driver, but I don't know when or how to 
access them.  I'd like to know if it's possible to achieve simple(?) density and 
contrast adjustments before getting into what looks like a serious learning 
curve to produce profiles for Epson and non-Epson inks.

Thanks,

peter
