  Subject: [Digital BW] QTR Calibration Help Please




  Hello:

  I have installed QTR on my XP Home machine connected to my Epson 9600 
  using UC inks. I have also installed the GUI. Both seem to be 
  working. But... I can't seem to get a better B&W image than I was by 
  printing on Epson Enhanced Matte paper using QImage and the Bill 
  Atkinson profiles for the 9600. In fact, I can't seem to even come 
  close. I have to assume I am doing something wrong here. BTW, 
  the "blackest" black (which is closer to blue actually) in QTR comes 
  from the neutral curve. All other curves seem to come out a muddy 
  brown.

  I tried running the calibration mode and printed off the 21step.tif 
  file. At 100% it is a muddy brown at best. At 35%, it has a touch of 
  magenta in the patch. At 30%, it is a light blue which graduates down 
  to about 5%. At 0%, it is white.

  What am I supposed to do with this calibration bar? I have Monaco EZ 
  color software which I use on my Epson 3200 Pro scanner, if that 
  helps in your suggestions.

  Thanks in advance!
