QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Joost,

 

This info I copied directly from the Quad Tone website:

"Beyond just the printing capability Quad Tone Rip also includes several
tools that allow the user to create a complete color-managed system for
black & white printing. This includes making full B&W ICC profiles for both
printing and soft-proofing within Photoshop or any other editing package
that allows soft-proofing.

This software is included in the main QuadToneRIP download. The B&W ICC
profile tool is called QTR-Create-ICC and is found under the Eye-One Folder.
There is also an RGB version this tool." 

From an article by David Brooks I've gotten this info:

"The QTR QuadR1800 printer driver is linear & expects a grayscale B&W photo
file to also be linear, without an embedded grayscale profile which has a
curve. All of the std Adobe Photoshop grayscale workspace profiles like Gray
Gamma 2.2 have a non-lineal curve which will influence internal contrast,
particularly affecting shadow detail in any resulting prints made with QTR.
To obtain match on-screen adjusted image attributes, you must use the
Photoshop Edit command Convert to Profile and select the Destination Space:
QTR-Gray Matte Paper (which should be available in the profile drop down
list as it is installed as part of QTR)".

I'm a rookie at this, so please bear with me; I'm just going by what's given
to me.none of the above downloaded w/ QTR & my prints reflect it. They're
awful! Any help & advice is greatly appreciated. I'm so frustrated &
confused I feel like going back to B&W film & setting my darkroom back up.

Best regards,

Pam

What exactly have you installed? If I remember correctly, You must 
install the QTR profiles manually as they are not installed 
automatically with QTR.
