Re: QTR and NK7 ink profiles

2006-01-31 by jefferyball

I will answer my own post.  I printed with the one curve 
profile "hahnemuhle photo rag 1440" that actually had linearization 
and it is the perfect print.  Too bad the other profiles don't have 
linearizations.  I am most happy with this output and plan on using 
it exclusively.  Just ordered my package of 11x17 Hahnemuhle and all 
is well.
