Re: "color" content of QTR prints on a 3800 using stock inks?

2010-01-10 by horstenj

From an older discussion here I recall that the 2400 ABW mode still used quite some yellow that in turn had to be compensated by extra amounts of cyan and magenta. Paul Roark addressed that point. In the QTR curves yellow is usually avoided altogether. As Tyler points out, QTR warm curves are carbon only. Cool (and selenium) curves contain some cyan and magenta.
