RE: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR - R200 and Entrada Bright curves?

2005-09-14 by Richard Wolfson

I designed the QuadBlack ink set and developed the curves you have.

For the Entrada I only did the natural, not the Bright. But since the
only difference is the addition of the white brightener, I think you may
find the Natural curve will work ok.

Unfortunately, Roy Harrington's curve generating tools don't work with
the QuadBlack ink set; our ink set uses multiple channels with its cool
and warm inks to do some very sophisticated b&w balancing, and Roy's
tools can't generate our curves. 

So I had to build my own tools, but they are VERY user-unfriendly and
I'm only tolerating them myself. So even a densitometer probably
wouldn't make it straightforward for you to make a curve directly for
Entrada Bright.

best,
