RE: Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR GUI settings for 3MK-R1800?

2013-10-26 by <paulmwhiting@...>

Paul,


Can you see the crow's feet sticking out of my mouth?


On a hunch, this time, with my current 1800 I _did_ use the curve layer and it made a huge difference. Now it looks like the print done on my previous 1800 _without_ that file.


In other words, things are behaving as they perhaps should have with my old 1800.


How do we explain that? I think I'm fairly intelligent, I swear that curve layer made very little difference previously.


'Tis a puzzlement. Anyway, my apologies everyone...


Paul

Paul,

I'm using a different R1800 now and somehow my prints are lighter.
Do these printers vary somewhat? ...

I doubt they vary much.

I noticed the Advanced Settings are:


Ink Level: -20
Gamma: 0
Dither Algorithm: Ordered


I've never used those. I assume when left at their defaults, the profiles print as they have alwasy printed.


... using QTR version 2.7.0.0.

I'm not using the Gray Gamma 22-toQTR.tif. I used to use it but somehow my prints have always been fine without it.

I you used that curve in the past and do not use it now, the current prints will be lighter than the older ones.
