Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR and NK7: Who determines colors?

2006-10-27 by Roy Harrington

This does seem a bit strange.   The CS instructions say "Same as 
Source" which is
equivalent to CS2 "No Color Management" as far as I've figured out.   
I've never used
"Let printer determine colors" in any scenario and am not positive 
exactly what it does.
QTR doesn't see the embedded profile so it can't use Color Management 
in the driver.
So it's quite possible that they have the same effect.  I'd use NoCM 
but it might be
worth a test print to see if you find a difference.
