Hello, I have discovered QTR on the web and read many positive stories about it for making great B/W photos. Here is my question: why buy and use QTR if i can use the advanced B/W print option in the epson R2400 driver which give me exellent results? What are the differences between the RIP and the epson utility? Can i expect even more better results with the RIP? I hope someone can help me with these questions. thanks, Steven.

In printing sepia prints, I got color color cross overs when using the 2400 and ABW. In building my own sepia profile w/ QTR I was able to eliminate these. Dave --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Steven" <X5682pdb00@...> wrote:

Given your statement that you get excellent results with what you have, Don't buy QTR. If you are curious, though, you can just download QTR and give it a try. You only pay for it if it fits your needs. -Stephen www.sbillard.org/Stephen

Personally I still find that I get smoother tones in the high lights with a quadtone inkset. I use Piezotone in a 7600. This gives me solid black and three toned inks of varying density. I use three Carbon Sepia inks and three Selenium inks and can blend between the two sets. Having four densities of grey versus the three of the K3 inkset gives me better hilight definition. The variation is minimal but I prefer the Piezo inks. James Haney
