QTR-Quadtone RIP

Yes a Sepia K7 and there is a Selenium K7 also.

StudioPrint however, is rather easy to linearize. You simply select
the inks you wish to linearize from black to light and assign them
into an black from "black" to "light black 1" through "light black 6"
(as many as seven). You can also assign more than one ink to a shade
of light black is you wish. Then you print a target and measure. I
prefer to print 30 & measure, print 30 again and measure, then 60 and
measure, and finally 60 and measure and clip to the dMax. It takes
about 10 minutes. It's not as smooth as the K7 profiler but its very
good and easy.

I would be interested to know how many folks are down there! I may be
coming to Miami in February.

regards,

Jon

know you had sepia K7's too. Â I do not yet own Studioprint but have
been using QTR, which is a pain to linearize each day (two curves, a
neutral and a Sepia). It is my hope that Studioprint will simplify
linearization. Of course, QTR would be easier to linearize with a
mixed inkset. Â I'd happily use your curves but each day seems to
bring a need for a new linearization to achieve repeatable results.
 Humidity changes seem to be an issue.

 You've got some folks down here using your system.
