QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello Walker,


Yes thank you, I have the manual and have downloaded the piezography curves for Moab Entrada and Jone Cone type 5 and the results are amazing just using the curve right out of the can.


The trouble is I still have about a dozen boxes of Museo Silver Rag, and although I understand there is an incompatibility between Jone Cone inks and this paper I wanted to be able to see it for myself to appraise the quality. Though there is a curve packaged with the Piezography set “CAR_MuseoSilverRag” I read on the inkjet mall forum that this curve is not suitable, (which I was able to confirm by using it to print).


So, not wanting to pay $100 dollars for a custom curve or $150 for Peizography Pro, for a paper I am probably not going to use for B&W, I thought I would try to make my own with QTR.


Am I’m wasting my time?


Best,


Paul

Dear Paul. Download and install the Piezography Community Edition from Piezography.com and read the included manual that comes with it. This will explain it all. It's very different than the default QTR process or instructions.





Best,


Walker

I'm just setting up a K7 ink set on an Epson 3880. I am following the calibration.pdf from the site and just about to determine the relative ink density  levels. This document seems to be about k3 ink level calibration but I'm assuming that the principal will work for 7 cartridges as well, so I guess that was my first question.


I have a question that doesn't appear to have been asked before which makes me think there is something basic  I'm not understanding.


The instructions indicate the ink density of each channel is calculated by its relative density when compared to the proceeding channel. Should I be reprinting and subsequently rereading  the calibration target after modifying the ink level of each channel?  The instructions don't say to do this but my instincts tell me I'll be turning in circles if the relative ink densities are not fixed values.


Thanks


Paul
