Why Epson 3000 not supported by QTR

2006-11-25 by ragarecords

Well, I finally figured out why the 3000 isn't supported by QTR.

I was able to make it work by taking the supplied documents for the 1160 and substituting 
3000 for 1160 as needed. QTR works, and I was able to get a nice smooth linearized 
greyscale. But unfortunately the dithering pattern is all too obvious...when compared with 
prints from an 1160 running with the old Cone plugin, highlights have lost detail and 
midtones show obvious and unpleasant dithering. (The same 3000 running under the Cone 
plugin does not have this problem--prints are equal to those made by the 1160).

Clearly a problem with the Epson driver. If anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them. 
Although I am not in a bad position, being able to make good prints with the plugin, I enjoy 
the flexibility and control of QTR.
