QTR-Quadtone RIP

Paul,

I was using some of your QTR profiles for the Epson Hot Press natural. I am trying to set up a simple workflow for my studio where I can take the same sRGB or AdobeRGB files that I send to my lab and print them out in the studio.

Normally, I am pretty savvy about these things. I do a lot of printing through my lab onto an Epson 9800 (I think) and the prints match my monitor quite accurately. (Calibration with Eye One Match.)

I tried Calibration mode with QTR, and it seems as ink limit of 40 gets plenty of ink on the paper with plenty of separation and a good Dmax. Maybe I dove into QTR too quickly and need to work with the ICC first.

Basically, I just want a system that makes beautiful prints, where I can do what I do with my Kodak Lustre and Epson Large format (Han Photo Rag) prints, which is get it looking good on my monitor and let it rip. Given that, is the Epson driver the best choice?

Just to clarify, QTR prints with a more linear curve, and the Epson drive is more "curvy/contrasty"?

Happy Thanksgiving

Parker
