[Digital BW] Re: severe bronzing when using QTR & photo profile in Qimage with Kirkland paper

2006-04-07 by Chris Hargens

I'm assuming you are using the PK ink. I'm printing on Kirkland using 
QTR with a 2200 loaded with PKN and MIS Pro light black. I haven't seen 
any bronzing --  even when I've increased black boost in the profile, 
as well as moving the slider to deepen blacks/shadows. I've also 
printed on Kirkland using QTR via Qimage's "Print to file". I used the 
QTR gray lab profile and got good results -- no bronzing or artifacts. 
I would speculate that MIS PK might be a bit more given to bronzing 
than the PKN but not enough to create the problems you described. If 
you haven't already, I suggest you try printing directly through QTR to 
make certain that you haven't inadvertantly loaded an Eboni cart into 
the black position. Also -- just to see what happens -- you could 
process the file through Qimage as a grayscale and convert the 
resulting Print to File file from rgb to QTR's photo black profile.
