A small request for Roy

2008-01-24 by dgattarino

Hello Roy,

  I work as an assistant in a small studio of a Fine Art photographer
based in Southern Italy. After tens of years spent in a darkroom, he
decided to switch to digital printing. We discovered QTR not long ago
and started experimenting with it. We loved it from the very beginning
because of the huge control it gives to your workflow.
However, it lacks a small feature that is extremely important to us.
Infact, we only use uncoated, fine art paper for our printing, which
exhibits an extremely long drying time. As a consequence, the dot gain
is also very large. A solution would be to have a lag time between the
head passes as the OEM driver of the newest Epsons have (i.e. the
R2400) has.
I am sure it would be a nuisance for you to add such a  feature into
QTR's code (it might be a simple delay into the loop that executes the
printing).
Will you be so kind to consider such addition in the next version of
QTR? I noticed that you have added the capability of the program to
perform split tone printing upon request from someone in this
community. That sound a lot more work than what we are asking.

Thanks so much in advance. 
Cheers,

  Daniela
