Printing Resolution Advice Sought

Printing Resolution Advice Sought

2007-09-25 by nsams2002

The following was posted on the QTR site, but thought I'd give it a 
shot here also:

I'm using an Epson R2400 printer. QTR offers so many printing
resolution options that I don't know where to begin.

I'll mostly be printing on 8.5 x 11 matte paper. I'm after quality. I'm 
not
particulary interested in saving ink, but I don't want to use settings
which will result in "overkill."

(This is my first week with QTR so any help would be very much 
appreciated).

Aren't the curves written for 1440? Have you made your own for 2880?

I always use 2880 uni-directional with QTR and whatever printer I'm using.
It's slow but the dmax is usually better and quality is great.

I should have been more specific.  I write curves for 2880 and use that.
