Roy, 

I just looked to GUI, it is much closer to my understanding of 
what "ink mixer" should be. 
What if I will have curves for 3 separate inks, or inks subsets, not 
neutral grays, all curves linearized, and then mix them using new 
GTRgui. Will this print be something like the screen image I would get 
from guadtone dialog in Photoshop? I understand that your GUI is 
simpler than direct manupulation of ink curves in Photoshop duotone 
dialog, but do you envision this use of QTR 2.5?


Thanks,
Sergei

Hi Sergei,

I'm not positive exactly what you mean.   
Certainly you can put whatever you want in the 3 curves and blend them.
But the real strength of the blending is that the 3 curves normally are all viable
curves on their own i.e. all go from dMin to dMax.  They don't have to be neutral
gray of course but in order to get the benefiit of consistent luminosity you should
be starting with consistent curves.

The Photoshop quadtones are totally independent mixing of inks.   The QTR
blending forces a total of 100% at all parts of the curve thus keeping the consistent
luminosity.

Roy, I installed this version to Vista OS RTM and it doesn't work 
properly.
I tried version 2.5.0.3 with Epson r200 and 2200 in calibration mode. 
On both printers paper feed works a bit strange, it jerks the paper 
back and forth. When paper is finally set in place, printer thinks a 
moment then push it away. Nothing is printed on paper.
When I close the window, I am getting Access Violation error (read on 
address 0000).

Did you try it on Vista?

Thanks,
Sergei

After a bit more directed testing I found that printing problem 
described below exists for calibration mode only and probably is not 
caused by Vista. I was able to print image in regular mode. 

GUI does produce AV when program is getting closed, and this is only 
under Vista. I did not try previous version of QTR. 

What could I do to help fixing this?

Thanks,
Sergei

Glad to see you've worked on Vista a bit.  I don't have a Vista machine now
and wondering if I really need to buy a new PC to run it.  I would think if
it connects at all to the printer -- and it sounds like it does -- that the basic
printing would be fine.  Vista is more likely to cause difficulties in the GUI.
Any experiences you have would be worth noting.
