QTR2 on Epson 2200 w/ultrachromes

QTR2 on Epson 2200 w/ultrachromes

2003-08-26 by Justin Florentine

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm trying to use the ultrachrome inks that come with the 2200 from the 
factory in QuadTone RIP.  I generated .quad files for Epson Enhanced 
Matte paper from the profiles included with the QTR download.  My prints 
are coming out severely bronzed and there is little to no shadow detail.

I guess my general question is, what info should I post to help 
troubleshoot this problem?  Should I post a scan of the print?  A scan 
of a step wedge?  My cups error_log file?  What information is most 
useful in determining proper use of QTR.

TIA!

Justin,

Are you using the matte black ink and printing on EEM?  Also, are you  
using the printer driver settings that were recommended in the read-me  
file with the 2200 profiles?

Yes, I'm using the matte-black ink cart, and I believe I followed the 
instructions in the readme correctly.  I'm referring to the section 
marked "Printing Workflow", and I had to change some of the instructions 
for use thru PS7 on Win2K and QTR via samba.

This sounds like a linux or windows issue that Daniel or others working  
with that platform may be able to help you troubleshoot.  The 2200  
profiles were made for printing at a resolution of 1440x720 Highest  
Quality and the only thing I can think of that would darken the prints  
that much would be if you had used 1440x1440 instead.

Thanks Carl, I'll double check the resolution settings on both the 
client and server when I get home this evening.
