Re: [Digital BW] QTR/R1800 matte vs glossy dottiness (Question for Roy)

2005-07-19 by Nick H. Nugent

Hello John,

On Brilliant Supreme Lustre (almost the same as Ilford Smooth Pearl) I
got 2.38 with GLOP. However on most glossy media I found I had to turn
off GLOP for toned profiles and apply the GLOP separately (by creating
a GLOP only profile, or using a dedicated GLOP printer). For toned
prints with a GLOP post coating I got 2.43.

Initial I decided on the R1800 for color works only and hoped that
someday QTR or IJC/OPM would support it. Now I'm thrilled that with
QTR2.30b it can do very well in b/w as well.
