Re: QTRIP Curve Creation

2008-07-02 by Michael T. Murphy

QTR is already set up to print on matte paper with the 9800 using the 
Epson K3 inks on download. You really don't need to create your own 
curves!


But, if you want to ....


> and 100% LLB = 35% LB . Ok?

You need to express LLK in terms of the MK, not LK

 
> 3. at Create Curve dialog Box what is "limit" and how I determine 
it?

The "Denisty" is what you have above, the maximum LK and LLK 
expressed in terms of where it falls on the MK step wedge.

The "Limit" is where you are no longer gaining desity on the LK and 
LLK ("L" values plateau.) Really the same as how you determined the 
MK limit in step 1, but you use the second step wedge.

Paul Roark has a good walk-through of how to create curves using QTR 
on his web site.

Do the 3 "K" inks first. Then look at your prints and see if they are 
too warm for you? Then you can look at possibly using the color inks 
as "Toner" inks (In QTR parlance in the channel drop-down.)

Best,
Michael
