Printing B&W QTR with Indesign

2010-01-02 by linhof_camera

Hi,

I am trying to print B&W images using Indesign but I don't get the same blacks as if I were printing through PS. All my B&W images are gamma 2.2 and I use the QTR_Gray_photo_black profile in PS. In Indesign, under color management the document is set to Adobe 1998 and in the print dialog I can only pick color profiles. I did find a QTR RGB & QTR lab profiles which I tried along with Adobe RGB 1998 but they didn't produce any better result. I was hoping someone in the group has experience on how to properly set the Indesign print dialog for B&W images when using QTR curves. Thanks
