RE: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR Media Types

You can save "presets" with descriptive names. These save all the relevant
printing parameters.

Agreed, but sometimes I would like to see something more descriptive than
just "Matte paper" under media type, especially if I don't have a curve for
a particular paper. Just a reminder of what the heck I did last, when I'm
printing up a storm and trying different substrates  and color management
for the same image.

 

As for Epson not getting it right - well, you're being a bit too critical
there. Their driver does get quite a few things right. It's just not
appropriate for all purposes.

Yes, but that is the epson driver, not QTR. We can't help it if they don't
get it right. Profiles can be linked to paper types--after all, it is the
paper and ink combination that is being profiled. But media types are kinds
of paper and profiles are color management descriptions.

Well, Epson's driver at least on the 2200 reads the ICC profiles on hand to
display the paper types. Only for Epson papers though !

QTR does not use ICC profiles. And if it did it would not be a media type.
ICC profiles are similar to the QTR curves.

No response the first time - I'll try this again.

I have a number of ICC profiles installed. How do I get them to show up in
the Media Type combo box ?
