QTR-Quadtone RIP

QuadTone RIP users might like to know I've made curves for printing b&w
images with the new Generations QuadBlack ink set. I designed those inks
for Media Street, and Norm Levy said yesterday they just started filling
orders for the inks. 

So far I've released curves for the Epson R200 printer ($99 list, up to
letter size prints). It makes superb b&w prints on RC luster paper with
photo black ink, and on matte & fine art papers with matte black ink.

I've posted curves at www.richardwolfson.com/quadblack with other info
too. So far there are curves for G-Chrome Lustre plus several matte
papers. I'll be making curves for more printers soon, and I expect the
Epson 2200 will be next. Since the 2200 has 7 channels, it will hold
both blacks and switch between RC and matte prints any time. 

I'll do my best to respond to questions about these inks and how to make
b&w prints with them. Please feel free to post questions on this list or
contact me by email.

Richard,

Thank you for this message.  I have looked at your website, which 
includes some more information.

Obviously you have found that QTR curve creation is not easily 
capable of split-tone.  Would you be willing to share (sell) the 
curve creation software you have created?

I was a little surprised that the "platinum" split-tone profiles in 
your system uses all gray inks.  I would have thought it would use 
only black, cool dark gray, and warm light gray.  Unless of-course 
the cool and warm inks by themselves are too heavilyly toned.  Can 
you provide some more information?

Best regards.
