RE: [QuadtoneRIP] 8 bit vs 16 bit

2006-09-27 by John Moody

It's twice the data, but maybe not twice the information. :-)
Some claim it makes a smoother print, others see no difference.  You will
have to judge for yourself.  For example, you could look at large area
gradients like skies and fair skin portraits for any difference.
It is important that the image originates and stays >8-bit during your
entire workflow; hopefully that is obvious.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] 8 bit vs 16 bit

Apparently, the QTRgui supports 16 bit files, is there a advantage to using
16 vs 8 bit? Is it twice the information when using with a Epson 2200?
Thanks, Tom
