Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Using QTR on a UC 7600 and Epson Premium Semimatte paper

2006-06-12 by Laboratório de Documentação Científi

Hi,
I've posted this a while ago but got no reply; does anyone have a 
suggestion about a "starting point" QTR curve for using Ultrachrome 
(K2) inks on Epson Premium Semimatte with a 7600? I'm having some 
trouble adjusting the ink parameters for a 'cool' curve: the 21-step 
image prints with very non-even densities, mainly in the mid-gray tones 
(60-80%), and the 100% patch is noticeably lighter than the 95%. I 
suspect the trouble may lie on the LC/LM ink limit settings (I'm using 
a default LIMIT_LC=27, LIMIT_LM=27, LIMIT_LK=56, and the overall ink 
limit is set at 40%). A warm curve prints and is linearized OK.
Thanks for any help,

Paulo Baptista
