QTR-Quadtone RIP

Dear Ola,

I am a Novice on QTR.

As a student on the FOTOACADEMY in Holland I have to print almost all  
my work black and whites on Fine art paper (baryth);- I use Hahnemule  
Rag Brite 310 (HM 310) mostly. For all students getting true good BW  
is a time consuming and painstaking proces.

Required is a true natural real Black and White (BW), no sepia, cool  
or warm. With the standard setings of QTR I do reach good prints with  
60% cool and 40% warm for all the settings. Pofiles used for the the  
combination  HM and  MK ink;- advanced setting not touched.
I still lack some detail in the deep black. I donnot own a  
spectormeter in order to mesuusre execat inklimits and to addapt the  
profiles for my 4800 in combination with HM 310 paper.

We are very cirtical about detail as well in the high lites, grey tone  
and shadow.

I own a 4800 Stylus pro from Epson in combination with a MAC Pro on  
Leopard.  With the Epson drivers the only acceptabel result I  got so  
far was on Epson velvet fine art paper with the the ICC profile for  
that paper;-  profile name: Pro 4800 VFAP. Good detail in shadow

With the 4800 printer, QTR works best with handfeed sheets;- often the  
sheetfeeeder takes several A4 pages before QTR starts printing. This  
problem does not occur with the Epson native drivers. With A2 paper  
QTR gets confused and repport all the time wrong paper.

Ink and paper expenses are considarable in testing. So I was not glad  
to hear that MIS ink gave you problems. Because I consider to buy them  
too.

I wish you succes and patience in dicovering the right workflow;-  
please inform me if you solve he problems with ink.
