QTR curves for Epson 1400 and UT-14 inks

2008-12-31 by dpgoldenberg33

Hi,
   I have been making some QTR profiles for the UT-14 inkset, and they
now seem to be working well enough that I would be happy to share them
with others.  These require the QTR print driver.  

At the moment, I have curves for three papers: Epson Ehanced Matte,
Kirkland Glossy and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk. For each paper, I have a
"warm" and a "cool" profile, which can be mixed in any ratio using
QTR.  For the Epson Enhanced Matte, I also have a black only curve. 
The curves have been "linearized" using a flatbed scanner, which I
calibrated with a Kodak gray scale.  I haven't used them extensively
yet, but they seem to give very nice results, and very consistent
results among the different papers and between warm and cool profiles.
 I've not incorporated the gloss optimizer in any of the profiles for
the glossy papers, but I only see a minor gloss differential, and
nothing I would describe as bronzing.

Anyway, I would be happy to add these to the "Files" section for this
Yahoo group, but it looks as though this has to be done by the
administrator.
