Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Print Tool Speed

2016-02-12 by richard@...

These were 16-bit flattened grayscale, but I will rotate in photoshop before printing. Thanks for that suggestion. On the 44x108 I had it printing bi-directional, but i will see what the difference in time is when printing 16 bit compared to 8 bit. On a philosophical level I just hate the idea of throwing away bits...

I usually don't print with ICC profiles and print with no color management from PrintTool, and when I am printing from Photoshop I will just leave it as "printer handles color". Next time I print one of these large ones l will compare the difference between printing through photoshop to see if that internal conversion from graygamma 2.2 to sRGB is causing some of the additional spooling time compared to no color management from PrintTool. This is stuff to keep me occupied when these things take so long, but otherwise I'd never worry about it.

Thanks again,
Richard Boutwell
