QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Richard,
I am using the same setup as you.  You do not have to use the curve 
creator if you don't want to.  They are for creating custom 
profiles.  You can use it to create curves for unsupported inks or 
papers.  You can also use it for tweaking the existing curves for 
your printer.  I have tried to improve on the supplied curves for my 
printer and I have found I am not able to improve things much.  The 
existing profiles work very well with my printer.  There is a great 
deal of variation between individual printers, so YMMV.  To use the 
curve creator, you need a densitometer, spectrophotometer or scanner. 
(A scanner did not work well for me)

Are you finding the black is much lighter then when you use the Roark 
curves with UT7?  I find I can't get the blacks quite as black as 
with the curves, but the linearity makes QTR worth it to me.  If the 
black you are seeing is as black as with the curves, that may be the 
limit for EEM with Eboni.  There are some papers that will print 
blacker, but that is also a limitation of matt paper.

Hope this helps.

Peter
