ABW and QTR Create ICC

2006-02-23 by jurajlipscher

I have done an extensive search of this list regarding printing on a
4800 using ABW. Many thanks from my side to all contributors - there
is a huge wealth of data in there!! I have learned from several posts
that you could (and should) use QTR Create ICC in the ABW workflow. 

In Message 67818 Steve writes: 

"...QTR Create ICC is a much more sensible approach:  measure and
profile the stimulus-response behaviour of the printer IN ABW MODE and
have PS use that profile to adjust image file data prior to it being
sent to the printer. .."

So just to make sure I get this idea correctly: I prepare an ICC Curve
using QTR following the instructions and printing through the ABW
driver. This would be a QTR Profile for a particular paper and ink
combination and also particular settings in ABW. Then I take an image
file (in my default workspace G = 2,2) convert this file in PS to the
QTR Profile just prepared and send this file to ABW using 'same es
source' in 'Print with Preview'. 

Would someone please check my reasoning and let me know if there are
any inconsistencies?

Thank you in advance for your advice
