QTR-Quadtone RIP

Diane,

A bunch of us have beta tested it and have posted our opinions.

If you do a search for Silver Rag on this site and on the Large Format
Epson yahoo site you will get your fill.

The 2200, works for color with a minimal amount of bronzing ( far less
than Epson gloss media for instance). Bronzing worse with black and
white with this k2 inkset, spraying is required, then you are ok (my
opinion). K3 inkset good for both, no bronzing issues even when not
sprayed.

On the texture-sheen issue, you will have to decide for yourself.

I've started getting these too since running the latest QTR/GUI 
download for Windows with an R2400.

Hadn't noticed them at first but they showed up on a print with big 
areas of dark grey. When I looked at some previous pritns more closely 
I could see them

Hurray, someone with the same problem I am having.  Talked with  inkjetmall 
people to no avail.  Went into great depth regarding dithering,  I tried all 
their fixes, including putting a pixel outside the image area, still  getting 
the same problem.  Hope someone knows a fix.

Hi Diane,

I beta tested the Silver Rag. Great paper when used with the Epson
4000 pigment inks, in color. I was never able to make a successful
profile for QTR B&W, using the Epson inks. You'll find you won't be
able to use it with Piezography inks. I made a great QTR test curve
and print with it. Never seen such black blacks with Piezography inks
(I'm still using the K4.) Unfortunately, the paper takes days to
propery dry, and even then, it's very delicate. I'd heard a couple of
guys had some success using a hair dryer and a couple days drying.

Haven't been as excited about a new paper in a long time.

I'm using the K7 Neutral inks with my 2200. I'm looking for a profile for
Crane Museo Silver Rag. Can't seem to find one unless it's gon e right by
me. Is there one available, or a substitute ? I'm not yet adept enough to
create my own but I'll soon give PrintFix Pro a swing.

TIA for any leads.

Hi Brian

Those inks are meant to be used on matte papers.  Silver Rag is a "glossy"
paper so, if they work at all, they won't work properly.

David Whistance

Well, the inks work on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl, which is similar. I may
just give Crane a swing and see what happens.
