QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm about to be exploring digital negatives on Pictorico for a certain alt process, so your situation anticipates where I'm likely to be in a short while.

All I can do is share some general links that might eventually be helpful to ME ;-).  I am NOT speaking from experience.

Ron Reeder is making INQUIRIES it seems with Epsons 2200 and 4000 ...

You may know of Dan Burkholder, who is an authority (who does <a href="http://www.danburkholder.com/Pages/right_frame_pages/workshop_2-06/Workshops.html">workshops</a>) with Platinum Palladium and a variety of digital processes ...

See if you can find someone working in your specific process (contact or enlarger printing on ___ ?) who might share a known-good curve and maybe adapt it to the 1400.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

I keep cranking the Gray_Shadow and Gray_Highlight up, and the Default_Ink_Limit down, but it seems wrong. the current working values are as follows: Default_Ink_Limit=14, Gray_highlight=10, Gray_Shadow=14, Gray_Gamma=1.2. This seems somewhat more extreame than it should be, based on other profiles i've seem. I am copying the K curve to CMY.
