Hello,

I have just arrived at trying QuadtoneRIP and need a little help.

I use a 2100 with Lyson Quad Black Toneable inks, and from time to 
time have made some good prints through CS2, using the Channel Mixer 
and monitor profile provided.

However, I think the nuetral is warm and the monitor profile for 
softproofing is anything but correct.

Having installed the RIP software, and read Tom Moores excellent 
guide I feel that at last I have a tool that can give me what I want 
in terms of shadow and tonal control.

I have made some prints using existing curves (on to Epson Archival 
Matte)on a hit and miss basis because I dont know which inkset (UC 
etc) the QBT inks fall under.For the time being I have used UC-
EEnhMatte-cool etc

If anyone can point me to a good starting point with these inks and 
this paper, from which I can then make my own curves I will safe 
loads of time and be very grateful.

Finally, and pardon me if I could have found the answer with more 
research, how do I softproof the results with a monitor profile?

Sorry if these questions have been asked before.

Regards


Nigel Roberson
