Re: Epson Stylus color 740 B&W with QTR: it is possible?

2008-06-15 by fabozzism

Don't know if this could interest any of you, anyway I discover after
some tests that Epson Stylus 740 is supported by QTR: the 1160 model
support is perfectly compatible. 

Now I calibrated the monitor and the scanner. I understood preliminary
how QTR works to create a profile, next step is getting these carbon
inks...unfortunately this seems to be a challenge here in Italy. There
were two distributors, but recently one of them decided to stop
selling carbon inks. Still waiting the answer of the second one.

Let you know my B&W progress asap.

Cheers,

Stefano
