QTR-Quadtone RIP

What you see is what you get. The reason the full version does not come with
more profiles is that there is only one version of QuadToneRIP. You try it,
and if it meets your needs you pay Roy. If it does not, you just stop using
it.

Some printers have more profiles than others. Since you did not mention your
printer, can't comment on it.

Lots of people make profiles and post them in the files section of this
list. You might want to check there and see if there is something of
interest to you. Most people do not print B&W on glossy papers. The prints
tend to look better on matte finish papers.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Newbie quesion: I only see Epson Matte Black profiles
no Photo Black

I downloaded the trial version. Does the full version come with more
profiles? If not, why not?

I tried a B&W print using the Epson profile PLPP using Epson Premium Luster
paper and a print using Quadtone Epson Enhanced Matte with Epson Enhanced
matte (using my Photo Black UC ink) and the print looked washed out
(although the highlights (clouds) had a nice look to them).

Do most B&W photographers only use the rag/fiber type papers with profiles
provided by Quadtone?

I don't feel that I know enough to try to make my own profile.
I would not know where to start.
