RE: QTR Print Tool workflow question

2013-09-24 by <nicholae@...>

Paul,


This is the Epson Driver dialog. From here your students will be interested in 2 options in the drop-down menu: Color Matching and Print Settings. In Color Matching, make sure Epson Color Controls are selected. In Print Settings, they should select the options they normally would for the paper they are using.


Page Setup - Roll vs Sheet

Media Type - Manufacturer Dependant

Print Mode - Accuphoto HD (Advanced BW should only be selected if the printer is managing color for grayscale prints)

Color Mode: OFF

Output Resolution - Media Dependant (check with the manufacturer)


I always teach our students to check '16 Bit Output' out of habit.


Also, here is a link to our internal wiki page we use to have instructions on hand to use specific software. This particular page teaches three workflows available in QTR-Print-Tool. Step 12 has a screenshot that applies to the workflow you are asking about.

I normally use Print Tool with Cone inks so the workflow is very simple. My question involves how my students use it: working with wide-format Epson printers (7880, 9880, 11880), they bring mostly tiffs to the interface. The choose "Application managed" and the correct profile for their paper. The press the "print" button. Here is where I am confused about correct procedure. After the print button, the dialogue box comes up that leads to "Print settings" where they can choose media type and the other settings. \My question is: What should they do in that "Print Settings" dialogue box that won't take them out of the Print Tool environment/RIP workflow?
Thanks for all help.
