Laying down ink in a linear fashion

2011-10-25 by cheesecraft@xtra.co.nz

I have produced a .quad file that lays down black, magenta and yellow ink equally and in a linear pattern until my desired dmax is reached, this is for producing digital negatives. They print very nicely but need a little tweaking in the highlights. This is quite an undertaking, it seems and to do it myself would require a program in python or something similar. (unless you do it with a curves in an image editing program, which is what I am doing at present)

Is it possible to produce a .qidf file that can mimic the linear ink curves I am producing, so that the linearisation tab on the windows QTR interface could be used instead? Or perhaps so that output from an i1 could be used directly to linearise the ink curves?

Regards
David
