Re: Using Color Munki and QTR

2008-08-19 by Donna Kirkpatrick

I am using a Mac, Epson 3800 and am mostly interested in Black and White printing. I have 
followed the articles of Keith Cooper at Northlight Images (http://www.northlight-
images.co.uk/) and found them to be very helpful. I am trying to do mostly black ad white 
so I have to say that I got much better results using the colorpicker mode and using the 
colormunki spectrophotometer to scan Cooper's black and white test strip and create a 
profile in QTR with the results of the scan (see http://www.northlight-
images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw_print_colormunki.html). I did not get good 
black and white profiles using the standard Colormunki color test strips to create profiles.  
That said, I must say that I also could REALLY use some advice on using the Colormunki 
with QTR to create and modify profiles - I'm  mostly interested in black and white but color 
advice would help also. So far, I have only used QTR to create the profiles and am using 
the Epson 3800 driver to print - using the Advanced black and white mode in the print 
driver has helped a lot. The colormunki spec is a good instrument but the colormunki 
support bites.
