Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Using QTR and Epson k3 Inks for making digital negs on OHP

2018-08-01 by deanwork2003@...

Doesn’t someone have starter curves and workflow written out for QTR printing on OHP.?  People have been doing this for a long time. I’m surprised there are no curves loaded with qtr. I guess you could start with gloss paper...but that’s pretty far away.

Yes, yes, I have Piezo DN just set up in a 3880. One of the chips is bad  right off the bat so I have to deal with that, ug, but it does sound great once it’s working, and I will have to buy the additional $75.00  curve package to test it..  And I have the HPZ3200 with the auto profiling method set up that’s amazing and nobody knows about it because of HPs sad commitment to it.

. What I want to do is compare doing these methods with QTR and K3 inks for people who will not be setting up a used printer from eBay or a new one with an expensive circuit board on the P800s or a Z printer. I want to teach a workshop in December that can cover it all.

Yes Richard I’ve read about how you claim your software is the best thing on earth for this situation with k3 inks, and it very well may be, and I’ll probably buy it for testing, but the only video describing your system on youtube is a web seminar that was a disaster. I’m not sure why that is still up. It certainly isn’t helping you.  On none of these forms have I heard anyone else beside you describe the quality of the results or the ease of the learning curve for students and such ( your biggest market). But maybe I’m missing other people discussing  it somewhere. If you offered a free trial with a watermark or something like Bowhaus does for True Black and White  you would most likely have a lot of people talking about it, and cultivate beta testers. It’s just not cheap for something that is so totally unknown at this point.

 And it may be a bargain, and the perfect solution for k3 I don’t know other than what the author is saying.
