Re: [QuadtoneRIP] equivalent curves

2017-04-04 by forums@walkerblackwell.com

If you bought QTR and had a download link, you did not install the curves from the Community Edition but you installed curves from the default QuadtoneRIP>Profiles>7600-9600-K7 folder.

In general there are two things going on: 
The 7600-9600 is a very old printer so most curves at this point will not work perfectly for it.
You are using office paper. That will not work at all because this is a fine-art system that loads ink and requires specific paper (Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, etc) to work.

In generally I do suggest reading the manual found in >Applications>Piezography>Instructions>The Piezography Manual Community Edition. This has a comprehensive over-view of the Piezography system, how the curves work, how to print using Print-Tool with No Color Management, etc.

If you really want to get a perfect print on this printer which is not entirely supported anymore, I suggest getting a custom linearization done by us at InkjetMall or by a friend who has PPE or Richard’s utility. This 1 linearization (matte paper) will work on a vast array of different matte papers so you really only need to get one done.

best,
Walker
