QTR-Quadtone RIP

I there a FAQ for this forum?

I just printed my first print using QTR and I like it. I would like to 
be able
to print to glossy media. Is this possible? and can someone give me a 
clue    XP Pro Epson 4000

For the 4000, just set your printer name and printer model to the 4000 
in the upper right part of your window.  Continue to use the matte 
paper setting in QTR, but use a profile for glossy paper if you have 
any.  

There is a QuadToneRip users's guide for Windows at the following link:

I can't comment on the Mac platform, since I am on Windows.

Loving the program so far, especially how quickly it prints on my 2400 compared to ABW. I have a few questions perhaps someone could help me with, pleawe?

1.  I notice that the same file in QTR prints lighter than in ABW. Is this something I'm doing wrong or is it common to have to prep the file darker than for ABW? I increased the ink to +18 to get even close.

2.  Will there be curves for Epson's Exhibition Fiber Paper? Right now I'm using the "UCpk-raw" curves. Are these the right ones?

3.  I notice the instructions say the curves are built for 1440. I usually print in 2880 in ABW and I'm wondering about the differences in the 1440, 1440 super, 1440 x1440 and so on. Which one is recommended for the 2400 and EFP with the K3 inkset?

Thanks,
George

Hi George,

I recommend using the SilverRag profiles -- its very similar to
Exhibition paper.
The "raw" curves are un-linearized so are for making new curves not regular use.

With a R2400 I'd mainly use the 1440x1440super resolution but 2880 may show
less banding if you notice any.
