Creation of B&W ICC Profiles

2014-07-22 by Wallace Kistler

I've installed Roy's QTR and have a X-Rite Eye-One Spectrophotometer.

I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 7900 printer with the UltraChrome HDR inks.

Following the QTR Eye-One-ReadMe I've opened QTR and selected the Step-21x4-random.tif
The help information states "Print targets with QTR and all the selections you want to profile or linearize".

I assume this refers to the paper type (Matte / Photo), the curves:
UCmk-EpsEnhMatte-Cool, UCmk-EpsEnhMatte-Coolse, UCmk-EpsEnhMatte-Sepia, and UCmk-EpsEnhMatte-Warm.

Resolution (720, 1440, or 2880dpi), Speed (Bi or Uni-directional), and Black Ink (-Installed-, Matte Ink, Photo Ink)

Most are simple choices (Matte paper, 2880dpi, and Bi-directional).

As for selection of the curve or curves and the Black Ink I'm not really sure which to choose.

The printer has 4 Black Inks: Photo Black, Matte Black, Light Black and Light Light Black.
Installed seems like a good choice - which black will be used in printing the 21 grey shades?

I would also like to understand the curve selection - what is the difference in Cool, Coolse, Sepia, and Warm?

Thanks,
W Kistler
