QTR-Quadtone RIP

QTR is a great tool that is easy or difficult depending on what inkset,
printer and workflow one is using.

 

With the R1800/800 3-MK workflow (described further here:
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800.htm ), which has profiles included in
the just-released version of QTR, the same basic curves work for virtually
all matte papers.  To make a curve for a paper that is not already profiled
is, basically, a 2-step process:  determine the dmax and linearize the
results.  The instructions for how to do this are in the Notes tab of the
Dmax test and the Start profiles that are included in QTR.  

 

The procedure for the R260 using black only is essentially the same -
determine dmax with an included test curve and then linearize.

 

The learning curve can be steep and long, but it's worth it.  Start simple.

. I find the description of the process of making a curve very difficult to
follow. .
