Re: [QuadtoneRIP] quad file behaviour

2016-01-15 by Roy Harrington

It looks exactly like printing without a curve selected.
If you can look at the .quad graphs and they are similar then the
most likely explanation is that you missed selecting the curve on the
first print. The curve was selected on the second print.

So, probably something went wrong in the re-linearization process.

(I'm on Windows, so I can't help with the Print Tool issues.)

Hi


I used one of yours : Eb6-EpsHpn-T (this one was OK) and for the first print a profile that I linearized from yours : Eb6-EpsHpn-T-lin.

If I look at both quad profiles (using QTRView), they look almost the same so the input to Print Tool must be very close.

​Which profiles were used?

Hi


Is it possible that a profile goes bad?


Explanation: I printed a 13x19 on an Epson 1430 fitted with the standard Eb-6 inks; I used Print Tool to select a profile and sent the task to the printer. Unfortunately, the print was almost black (but the whites were OK). I immediately reprinted the same picture, using Print Tool and this time, selected a profile very close to the one I used. Perfect print!!!


I'll have to refill the printer since the first print almost drained the black cartridge.


What could be the cause of this behaviour?


Many thanks
