QTR-Quadtone RIP

hello all,

I was introduced to QDR by a link in Photo.net. I was pleased when I 
went to the website. If I understand correctly my printer (R1800) is 
in the R800 family and would have to choose that printer when setting 
up. correct? and I can only use a USB connection to the printer 
(running OSX 10.4.9).

I would like to buy the program but am nervous if it will work with my 
printer. I got it 3 days ago and currently connection through 
firewire. 

Oh and is there a large learning curve with this software?

thank you for your time

I have used QDR on my R1800, it appears in the printer menu as
QuadR1800.  Works fine given the limits of the inkset that comes with
the 1800.

Hi Edgar,

You must use the USB port, disconnect the firewire port.

The R800 and R1800 use the same profiles but you must use
the install script for the R1800.

Feel free to try it out before buying.

thank you for your time, and yes I will try it.

I have also just bought an R1800 and find that BW prints have a
distinct greenish colour cast, inks and paper are genuine epson . 

Is it likely that using Quadtone will fix this or does the problem lie
with the ink set?

I'm a bit reluctant to spend $50 if there is no improvement in this
respect.

Hi
You will be blown away with the results
best regards
Rob etherton

hello,
  spend your 50$ don't be afraid !!!
  it's a very cheap expense compare to the real B&W prints I got without these greenish or Magenta metamerism I had before!
  go to :
  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/files/Curves/R800%20and%20R1800/
  and try one of the proposed curves, depending of your duo "inks & paper"
  If you have different inks, it's not so difficult to tune up a specific curves for your "duo"
   
  it's works great ! thanks to paul and roy !
   
  enjoy now a real B&W world !

I believe it's free to try.  So go ahead and download it, try it out, 
and if it works for you then pay the money.

If you have the current version 2.5.1 QuadR1800 is there.  The list is
long so scroll up/down to find it.
