Re: [QuadtoneRIP] A couple basic questions regarding QTR_Quadtone RIP

2011-02-01 by Mike Finley

Windows or Macintosh? The printing process differs between the two.

On Windows machines the Epson driver is completely ignored, as is the 
general Windows printing interface , and QTR acts as a separate 
application (well, actually there's a separate application (qtrgui) that 
you use to submit the image to the print driver). The image needs to be 
cropped and sharpened beforehand. I don't know what inks and papers are 
supported in the QTR distribution package for the Epson 1400, but I 
would be surprised if curves were included for black only with the 
standard Epson ink set. Most users would be using a third party inkset 
designed for monochrome printing.

On macintosh machines, someone else will have to answer because I've no 
idea.
