QTR-Quadtone RIP

It looks like there are no curves supplied for the R2000 - its unlikely 
anybody has supplied curves for it, as the R2000 doesn't look like a 
good match for QTR with the Epson inks. (It is optimised for colour 
gamut and (I assume) has only a single active black ink - MK or PK 
depending on paper.)
I think it  would only really be usable with a custom monochrome inkset 
- I don't know if any are available. If someone is using it, maybe they 
could provide some guidance?

Thanks for taking the time to answer Mike. I purchased QTR on the basis that it was supposed to do better B&W than the native Epson driver, noting that the R2000 was a printer that QTR supported. I thought it might have worked in part by using a better mix of pigments to produce greys (not being a printing guru, or in fact any sort of guru since the craniotomy). I guess I'll have to take satisfaction from donating $US50 from my pension to product development for other QTR users. Cheers.

When qtr loaded for me, the ink slider was full rail to max. That caused my first digital negative to print as a pool of liquid ink.
So if you have not already done do, take the ink slider down from +50 to 0 (midrange)

Thanks Don – that’s exactly what happened to me. I’ll follow your advice.

Has anyone actually managed to make it work with an R2000?
