Re: Trouble with Custom QTR Curves

2016-04-19 by brian_downunda@...

You can do this in Windows, but with less convenience. You can't convert on-the-fly. You have to convert to the ICC in PS, and save that as a copy, and print that using QTRGui. Since QRGui has the option for a "hot" folder, so that all new images placed in this folder are printed automatically, the inconvenience can be reduced. You just have to have QTRGui pre-configured with the right printer and curve and page size, and occasionally clean out the hot folder. There are some prominent Win QTR users who use this technique with Qimage rather than PS.

I have no knowledge of the PiezoDN system, but I'd be surprised if the same technique couldn't be used.

It's certainly possible to run a hackintosh VM in Windows, and you can now do so legally, but it's not clear to me that doing so is more convenient that the hot folder technique.

Grayscale ICC printing means you select a Create-ICC built ICC profile in PrintTool (OS X only), select perceptual mode, hit print, select your curve, and print. The Create-ICC profile pulls the shadows down slightly before the image hits the .quad and prints. Many people really like this way of printing.

"The one problem with piezography/qtr on windows is that it does not yet allow grayscale ICC while printing, something that our new PiezoDN system will be using."

What is grayscale ICC while printing?

Also, does this mean that PiezoDN will not work on a PC since it's something that the new PiezoDN system will be using?
