k7/CS QTR Profiles available

2005-09-19 by Carl Schofield

I am now using a subset of the piezo k7 inks and the carbon sepia  
inks in my 4000.  It is a  dual quad configuration, driven by QTR.   
I've  put an archive in the files section with QTR profiles for these  
inks on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag (HPR) and White Velvet (HWV) papers  
along with QTR Gray icc print space profiles for anyone that wants to  
try these inks in their 4000.  There is also a PDF file that  
illustrates the proper print settings in the CS2 print with preview  
and print dialogs.  The inks setup is also in the commented header of  
the profile descriptor files.  The neutral quad consists of piezo k7  
black in the MK slot, k7 gray ink 3 in the LC slot, k7 gray ink 5 in  
the LM slot, and k7 gray ink 7 in the Y slot.  The carbon sepia quad  
uses the same k7 black in the MK slot and the carbon sepia grays in  
the C, M, and LK slots.  Beautiful prints with smooth tonal  
transitions, no highlight dots, finally an excellent neutral, and a  
very nice warm/sepia (subtle, not overstated).  I haven't tried any  
profile blending or split toning yet but this setup is quite flexible  
and easy to use.
