QTR-Quadtone RIP

Has anyone worked up a set of curves for Ilford Smooth Fine Art paper 
using Matte black ink?   (I looked in the Files page, didn't see any)
Thanks, Steve N  www.stevenicholsphoto.com

Steve,

The Ilford paper appears to be the same as Hahnemuhle William Turner. 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag curve should get you close. Of course only if 
curves are available for your printer/ink combo.

Good luck.

I've also had very good success using UCmk EVelvet FineArt for William 
Turner.  It seemed a toss-up between them and HPhoto Rag.  I'm using an 
Epson 2200.

Thanks for the info. Where can I find these curves and are they 
available for downloading?

They're stock included curves for the Epson 2200 printer selection.  
You might have to tweak the Shadow and Midtones sliders a little, but 
they work fine for me.

I went back and looked through the drop-down list of curves in the 
Epson 2200 group, and  only found Ilford Smooth Pearl curves.  Are 
these curves you're referring to named something else other than 
Ilford? Thanks again.
