Digital BW, The Print

Scott --

I'm not sure that I have a good QTR setup for Kayenta. For the moment I have abandoned it for BO printing.

I definitely had a problem with the Resolution set at 2880 -- way too much ink was being applied. Set at 1440 Super ended this problem.

I do not have a set of special curves for this ink/paper combination nor do I have the instruments to create one. Actually I was hoping that someone out there in DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint land would have one to share. I used UC-EEnhMatte-cool and UC-EEnhMatte-warm mixed 75-25.

Originally my proofs printed with QTR were very flat with no deep blacks. This was solved by using the ICC profile provided with QTR (QTR - Gray Matte Paper) and converting to this profile within PS (Image | Mode | Convert To Profile) before saving the image for printing.

This would have been acceptable actually but since my prints are large and will not be viewed up close and a deadline is drawing near, I choose to use BO.

Actually I'm surprised with BO. I didn't expect to be using it but my prints are really quite nice.

Good luck. If you score a Kayenta profile, please let me know. 

Dave.
