RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: [Quadtone RIP] Curves for Epson 2200/2100

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the reply, I tried your suggestion but it made the print much warmer.

I guess I wasn’t specific enough in my original post, the problem with neutrality is that the prints are already too warm. I’m having to compensate by making them cooler in Photoshop (obviously not the right way to go!)

Thanks for the other suggestions, but I don’t have a suitable area for spraying and I’m not very keen on the look and feel of the matte papers.

Cheers,

Bernie

I think your problem with neutrality is your choice of 2 cool curves
rather than 1 warm and 1 cool. This will result in a much more
neutral tonal range.

The bronzing is not QTR's fault. It is ink used by the 2200, the
way the paper absorbs it and the way the 2200 puts ink onto the
paper. As far as I know, the only way to deal with bronzing is to
apply a coating that will even out the reflectance values of the
paper or simply change to a more matte surface paper.

Best regards,
Randy
