qtr print tool and Z3100

Is the QTR Print Tool working with the HPZ printers for linearization.
Is anyone doing that out there?

Do you mean as a way to print the calibration/linearization targets without color management?
If I understand the Mac CUPS printing system Print Tool will print will work with any installed printer. Does HP have their own built in measuring/profiling software or are you using something like x-rite or sypder print to measure and profile?

Hi Richard,
It does have it's own built in spectro and it's own target for linerization that I've used for years. But I would like to print my own linearization target and measure manually with my I1 Pro2 spectro.
I read on the page when I bought Print Tool that it supports HP printers.
I don't really need it for my Canon because I have the TBW Bowhaus software that allows me to do the same thing.

Print-Tool uses standard printer drivers some of it depends on driver options.

You could make a greyscale target for Color Center, print from that application and have it measured with the Z's spectrometer and save the measurement data for QTR linearisation. Of course measurement can be done manually with a separate spectrometer too.
I experimented with an 85 patches target, 5x 17 greyscale patches, to get data for adjusting the Qimage curves. That was not very practical due to the horrible curves tool in Qimage.
Right now I am thinking of another approach that is more a low gamut ICC profiling, addressing the total of small Lab shifts in greyscale printing.

You mean like using the X-Rite extended gray patch target with lots of patches, read them manually, and make an rgb icc profile and avoid doing a separate linearization?

Yes, more or less that way.
