Re: Trouble with Custom QTR Curves

2016-04-08 by richard@...

Brian, I am not arguing with you here. Those were just some mostly rhetorical questions to point out that that Piezography isn't just one thing. It is a whole system. The rest of my comments were just my experience with the limits of QTR created curves some suggestions that can help push those QTR created profiles a little further for those building them from the ground up—I think I said it pretty clearly that they are not as good as what Piezography does out of the box.

Setting aside the details about how/if it can be done outside of IJM, does the long trailing/leading edge and increased over/underprinting of several inks make something a Piezography print? I mean that the ink curves "look" like a Piezography curves, and not ones with increased QTR overlap settings (or just relinearizing existing Piezography curves). My inclination is to say no. Piezography is a complete system and printing method with a lot of interconnected parts.
