QTR w/2200 and Harmon Gloss BF AL

2008-01-05 by neilsphoto

Hi all

I've lost track of how I used to set QTR.  Most of my printing is on mat paper.  I've been 
doing so much color for a job lately I forgot the settings for QTR that worked well.  Well 
not everything but........  I have read and re-read the QTR PDF instructions and didn't find 
my answer.

I remember it didn't seem to make much difference if I left the print as 1998 or Gray 
Gamma 2.2.

I was letting p'shop determine colors.

Printer profile I set to QTR grey mat or photo depending on paper.

I left printer preset at standard and not a preset where it would set a paper type, color 
management etc.  So at this point I never told the printer what paper I used or 1440 etc.

I did some prints on some Epson Semi-gloss with variations of the above settings and 
there is very little if any difference in the prints.

So now I have some sample packs of Harmon Gloss, have the printer profile etc.  Harmon 
says use PK and set the printer to the Water Color Radiant white paper.

I "think" the following.....

I "think" having a Harmon profile will make no difference with QTR.  

I think I'd use one of the QTR paper types in QTR that is closest to Harmon paper, no idea 
what that is.

Should I set the printer profile to QTR or Harmon?

Doc profile RGB or Gray Gamma 2.2.

Anyone doing the Harmon/2200/QTR combo?

Thanks for any help

Neil
