I currently do my black and white prints using Epson ABW mode and OEM inks on a p800 printer. The results are terrific.
However, for some images i would like to tritone the image (or at least get a better split tone than the Lightroom Split Tone feature supports) and ABW doesnt have that capability.
I am tring to gauge how easy it would be for me to use Qtr. Specifically-
1. I use Harman Gloss Baryta paper, Canson Baryta, and Epson Hot Press Matte papers. Are these three supported in Qtr For the Epson OEM inkset on the p800? I dont see myself creating custom profiles.
2. Will this interfere with ABW at all - is it relatively easy to revert to ABW or just pick either AbW or Qtr when you want?
3. For those with similar setups and use to mine - how was the Qtr learning curve?
thanks!

1) QTR driver does support the p800 printer. There are profiles that should work with the papers
you have. Note that profiles work well with multiple papers -- just use one similar to paper you have.
The only important thing is to match matte vs photo.
2) No problem using both QTR driver and ABW on the same setup. They are independent drivers
so you can select either when printing.
3) ordinary printing is pretty easy, profiling can be more work depending on what you want to do.
