Digital BW, The Print

I am new to this ink and RIP, having used only Epson inks and the Advanced Black and 
White driver previously. The Print with Preview (PWP) setting recommendations from 
Piezography are below and quite different from the tutorial, which refers I gather, to using 
the Epson K3 inks with QTR. 

 The recommended settings from Piezography for the PWP dialogue using K7 inks and 
QTR are:

Doc profile: Gray Gamma 2.2
Color handling: Let Printer determine color
Printer Profile: none
Rendering intent: ????????? - none indicated, also, no black point can be assigned because 
of Color handling. I used "Perceptual". Piezo indicated that this is at my discretion and 
offered no recommendation.

Settings for the PWP dialogue that came from the QTR tutorial that came with my down 
load:

Doc profile: Gray Gamma 2.2
Color Handling: Let photoshop determine colors
Printer Profile: QTR - Gray Matte paper
Rendering Intent: "Perceptual" w/ black point

So far my prints have looked good using the Piezo settings for their K7 inks, although in a 
couple of cases there was a slight yellow cast  in the mid grey tones to the first print of a 
series. I did use QTR's flush image which looked great. Finally, we had a power outage that 
occurred during a print and the subsequent prints all have fine bands which I have traced 
to clogged headnozzles.I have had the 2400 for two years and never had a clogged nozzle 
before, I hope it isn't an issue with the K7 inks. I still have my enlarger in the closet!

 I realize that in this forum there are many experienced users for whom this is something  
simple and old hat, but I hope someone can give me the benefit of their experience, 
discuss the way these PWP settings work and and let me know what PWP or other settings 
they have been successful with for the R2400 and the K7 inkset.

I use Apple OSX, APS CS2, printing on Hahnemuhle Photorag 308g

Thanks,

Grant

actually Grant, that's not really the case. You'll find more experienced users of your setup on 
these two groups-

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/piezography3000/
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/

I'd ask on both. They are far less active than this list, but if you are patient, and even ask 
again if no one replies, you are likely to get some answers. Jon has been checking in on the 
Piezo  list lately and may answer directly.
