Re: [Digital BW] newbie question-ink density calibration with QTR-do I need a densitometer?

2005-06-10 by Brian Ellis

You can just substitute the Eboni black and continue to use the Epson inks 
for everything else.

I'm not sure, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the density 
calibration stuff you refer to is relevant  when you're creating your own 
curves, which you probably don't want to do at this point.

Subject: [Digital BW] newbie question-ink density calibration with QTR-do I

I'm brand new to printing and QTR, which I want to use to print sepia
tones and BO method with my 2100-Epson inks.

I have just downloaded QTR and I'm going through the user guide. The
section on ink density calibration indicates that I need a densitomer.

What the hell is it? Is it necessary? Is it going to cost alot?

Different question (sorry)..if I buy MIS eboni black cartridge, can I
continue using the other Epson inks and only substitute the black or
will the printer not function with the 2 different ink types?

Thanks in advance.
