Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Lightroom and QTR for Windows -- advice for an export for QTR strategy

2016-02-16 by Larry Beach

This may be beginning to make sense now, but not completely...


"Roy built it (Print Tool?) to use BWICC profiles in ABW mode."

Does this mean that, on a Mac, Print Tool is working WITH Epson's ABW mode?  

PC's don't use Print Tool.  Is PC printing a whole other kettle of fish?

       It was my own observations and measurements of ABW
 that made me come to this belief.
 BUT, 
 Print Tool can do some
 calibration of the ABW funkyness as Roy built it to use BW
 ICC profiles in ABW mode.
 I have done this calibration and it did work.  Not anywhere
 near as good as using a good QTR .quad or Piezography .quad
 though in my opinion . . .

 Walker, 
 If you have something from Epson
 that says that they designed ABW to compensate for crappy
 monitors, please share it. I long ago decided against ABW
 for my printing. Telling me to use Print Tool is highly
 unlikely to have come from Epson.
