QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Jon,

   Thanks for weighing in.  Even though it's a turnkey system, I've always found it helpful to spend time with people who know more than I do. Having an experienced pair of hands help us physically move through the process of installing and initially printing would be money well spent in my opinion.  Observing and interacting with a skilled operator, or sitting around talking shop, allows many issues to come up in conversation that can save time and money down the road.  

   I have the new manual and it's both clear and concise, but words on paper pale next to instruction from a smart person with experience.  My desire for consulting still stands for anyone out there interested.

Cheers,

   Adam Sanders

You will just need someone to show you how to fill the carts, install QTR, select the K7 paper curve from the supplied ones before you print. You do not need to make your own linearizations. K7 does not work that way and does not need it if used correctly.

We have purchased a new Epson 4900, Piezography Warm/Neutral K7 setup, QTRip and QTR Print Tool and have an i1isis for spectrophotometry.

We have a robust network, mac workstations and a PC which is currently running our commercial proofing RIP.  I'd like to keep the workflow all mac, but we can use PC if you think QTR will work more efficiently that way.

We are experienced printers and quick learners, don't think we will need more than one day to get up to speed.
