QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi, 
If anyone has made a profile for this paper/printer/ink combo, I would 
be happy to purchase it.
Thanks!
Steve

The bronzing and gloss differential with K2 and Photo Black are
unacceptable on the new fiber gloss papers for black and white, as
they are for the rc gloss papers. It is also difficult to achieve a
decent neutralish print color. Even after spraying k2 does a terrible
job. Not so with K3 though. Those inks have been reformulated for
glossy work and when sprayed the gloss prints can look nice, even in
black and white. I'm waiting to get a handle on the new HP machines
with the gloss optimiser built in. This should be a big step up.

I actually accidentally discovered an excellent profile for the Silver
Rag on the 4000 with the UC inks.

I had printed a shot with Hahn. Photo Rag. I switched all the settings
-- ink to Photo Black, used Premium Glossy as the paper type, but
forgot to switch curves from Photo Rag cool Selenium. I ended up with
a really beautiful B&W print -- very rich, good detail, very neutral.
The Silver Rag, at least on my printer, is very cool/blue -- not to my
liking. You might try it on the Silver Rag and see your results.
