Re: [Digital BW] Re: Curves for Photo Rag and QTR for Windows/vurves vor other papers

2005-04-02 by Diane Fields

I'm printing a series of step wedges on each paper form 100% warm to 100% cool--I'll try using the HPR curve and increasing the ink limit.  I'm wondering about some of the other papers--for instance, William Turner.  Do most people start with either the EEnh or HPR curves warm/cool for printing a series of wedges?  Someone else suggested that it would be really helpful if there was a folder on the forums or downloadable curves or suggestions of available curves for use with 'alternate' papers.

  >Just now I'm trying to decide what curves to use with the new Innova papers that I received in a sample pack--in particular the Photo FB paper.  I'd suggest doing this as it really helps narrow down the papers you like with the RIP--and what settings/curves for what papers.  I'm trying to decide whether to start another thread about this---because others may not read down this far to answer my question.

  Start with the HPR curves but increase the general inklimit c.q. the 
  boost a bit. Check on the 21 step wedge whether the white lines stay. 
  The paper could use a cooler tone than HPR. Not based on B&W prints but 
  on color prints.
