QTR-Quadtone RIP

David,

I recollect (but not from where) recently reading of problems in CS5 of printing and turning off "Printer manages colour" option to use your own profiles.

There is a long article on CS5 Colour Management at 

http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps12_colour/ps12_1.htm

which may help.

I also recollect there is an add on program for CS5 to get around the problem.  Not running CS5 I did not keep the details, unfortunately.

Hope this is a help.

Jim Thyer

  Skip,
  Thanks for the reply, but definitely not the answer I was hoping for!

When printing something like the QTR 21 step grey scale file from PS using John Cone's instructions for QTR I always see non-linearity at the > 92% grey levels. John' printing directions provide the best way to circumvent the color mangement problems with osx and k7 inks. I have solved this problem by using Parallels 7 and the QTR stand alone printing program for Windows. I use Windows 7. I get very linear responses with k7 inks using this approach. It's not the cheapest fix but it does solve the linearity problem. I got this idea from reading John's blog where he said that while they are Mac-centric they use Windows PC's to run their printers.
