Re: Neutral Prints With QTR and 7890

2018-05-15 by brian_downunda@...

I am traveling at present with only a tablet, so I can't double check what I am about to say, but on my OEM 3880 I use the Ilford Smooth curves for both Platine and IGFS. I was staggered just how linear these were. For CRP I would have used either the HPR or EEM curves. My recollection is that a small amount of relinearisation was needed. I'd need to check the details on CRP but I'm certain about Platine.

BUT .... I don't regard the 3880 neutral curves as exactly neutral, I find them slightly warm. Not objectionably so, but if someone I'm printing for wants dead neutral then I add in 15-20% of the cool curve. I suspect the higher figure was for Platine, but again, I can't check for a couple of days.

IIRC, Roy has a P800, which may be why those curves ars spot on.
