If .quad files hold 256 values, how can they convey 16-bit data ?

2016-06-05 by kenlee333@...

The .quad files I have created describe 256 values for each channel: that's 8-bit data, 8-bit precision so to speak.


How then can QTR send 16-bit data to the printer ? Are the additional values interpolated ?


With QTR, what do we mean when we say that we are printing in 16-bit mode ?


Many thanks !
