Curve for Van Dyke Brown Digital Negatives?

Curve for Van Dyke Brown Digital Negatives?

2013-07-17 by Wendell

Hello - I'm new to QTR and this forum, and am looking to make some Van Dyke Brown prints from my digital files.  I'm working in Windows XP and have an Epson 7800 printer with K3 ink. Has anyone developed a curve for printing a digital negative that can be used VDB printing?  I've looked through the files portion of the forum and didn't see any curves posted for VDB negatives, and a search for VDB negatives didn't find any postings. Thanks for any help you can offer.

You can try this QTR profile with this curve. They are for Kallitypes but might work for VDB. Don't know how you get a Mac profile into windows.
