beginner profile question

2013-03-31 by janbecket

hello all,
Postings here have encouraged me to learn how to create profiles for my 4880, which currently has K7 inks and Photo Rag loaded. Seems like a good way to learn, since a profile for that ink/printer/paper combo comes bundled with QTR, and I can ultimately compare my profile with the bundled one. Good theory, at least.

I've followed Michael Mathers excellent QTR profile tutorial and have progressed through determining the MK ink limit (45) and then through assigning ink crossover limits to ink channels 2-7. However, in the K7 inkset I am using (Special Edition) channel #5 is far more dense than #4 or even #3. Effectively, there is no crossover with the previous channel. All of the other channels do have a crossover limit.

Since the ink limit for each channel references the previous channel, should I just set the ink limit for channel #5 (LC) at 100? (If one extrapolates, it is more like 150.)

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
