Re: QTR with MIS UT14 (PK & BO) rubs off?

2012-07-03 by jffelinik

No biggie, I'm not in a hurry... :)

Yeah, the glop is in the yellow cart, so when using your ICC profiles I simply need to adjust the "yellow" using the Epson driver?

Regarding the 1400 profiles in QTR for the glossy papers, it should probably be mentioned somewhere very obvious that the ink will rub off unless the printout is treated after its done. I, and probably quite a few more "newbies" than me, wasted quite a bunch of glossy papers (and ink) of different sorts before understanding that "this wont work". Not really a pleasant surprise.


Thanks.
