Trying to understand how this thing works

2014-06-12 by rabsanito@...

I am sorry. I keep reading how wonderful this QTR is and seen pictures that apparently confirm this. Now. I've tried some time ago to use it following the instructions and the results weren't good at all.
I am sure the one to blame is me, since I am a novice in the printing science, many concepts are very mysterious to me. I am not new to photography and i was a (say) good b&w "wet printer", zone system and all that, but now I am lost, trying to put what I see in my monitor to paper. Maybe someone could lead me through this jungle of messages so I could read what is important and basical and leave what is confusing?

I use an Epson R2880, I calibrate my monitor periodically w/ a Spyder 3 and I own a Spyder 3 Print, I know how to use it (but my QTR experience would indicate that this is not really true :-( )

Thank you in advance

Jorge
