Re: Problem with ink on glossy paper

2006-08-24 by brianmills_us

Everyone who posted here has some interesting suggestions, but the
issue comes down to the ink selection in QTR and the fact that you are
using an R1800 printer. The default (and only profiles) for the R1800
in QTR are for Matte paper so they use the Matte black ink. You are
printing on glossy paper and your printer has a gloss black. You need
to utilize that black.

What I had to do was to create a new profile that uses the gloss black
instead of the matte black. You also have to adjust the use of the
magenta or the print comes out green--which is what we're all trying
to escape by using QTR.
