QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello,

With version 2.5.2.0 of QTR and an Epson R220 printer, the Printing
Model section gives me a choice of either QuadR220-K6 or QuadR220-GQ.

What would be the differences between the two printing model?

TIA,
Andre

They are for different ink sets. Use the one that matches the inkset you
have installed.

Thanks for the reply Stephen. 

But which is which? To which inkset does QuadR220-K6 relates to and 
same for QuadR220-GQ.

Thanks agains,
Andre

Hello Andre, the K6 refers to the Piezography K6/7 inkset and the GQ is the Mediastreet 
Quad Black inkset.  You can also learn to profile any inkset you want although the task is a 
bit daunting at first.   The Windoze user has one set of instructions and the Mac user 
another, neither are easy to follow in the beginning but with time it can be done.  The RIP 
is a fantastic piece of software giving you infinite control over the ink.  One major problem 
with the R220 is that it is a hobbyist's  printer (albeit an excellant one) but rarely used by 
professionals who normally want a larger print size so there are relatively few profiles 
ready made as there are for the larger printers. 

One bit of advice is to go through all of the file folders one at a time.  There are many 
"readme" documents that can fill in many of the blanks left by the various tutorials and 
instruction sheets.  From your name I'm assuming English is a second or third language 
and that might also make  QTR a bit more difficult to access.  QTR is however a very 
popular program and you might also find help in French.

Good luck!  Robert

GQ is MediaStreet Generations QuadBlack ink
K6 is Piezography Neutral K6 Ink

However, I don not see that the R220 is supported for K6. Nor do either of
these printing models seem to be in my installation of QTR. I suggest you
contact Roy Harrington on this as he is the author of QuadToneRIP.

R220 is supported - for the K-6 inkset -  the print model is referred to
as the R200 family  of printers - the curve set from Inkjet mall which
downloads in the latest version of QTR works very well for most
situations -  includes a nice selection of papers to choose from - and
with some experimentation and slight "tweaking" may be used for similar
papers-

Berel,

Thanks for the group mail. Can you help me get started with B&W on an Epson
3000 using MIS Quad ink. I have not utilized forums before. Am starting a
bit late in life but enjoy PhotoShop immensely, and have spent over 50 years
in black and white.
I've many Q that are start-out types (i.e., why aren't I able to see solid
tones at certain steps on a step wedge corresponding to, say, 50% on the
grey in the yellow cartridge).
Any direction you can offer will be appreciated. 

Ken
