QTR w/2200 and Harmon Gloss BF AL
2008-01-05 by neilsphoto
Hi all I've lost track of how I used to set QTR. Most of my printing is on mat paper. I've been doing so much color for a job lately I forgot the settings for QTR that worked well. Well not everything but........ I have read and re-read the QTR PDF instructions and didn't find my answer. I remember it didn't seem to make much difference if I left the print as 1998 or Gray Gamma 2.2. I was letting p'shop determine colors. Printer profile I set to QTR grey mat or photo depending on paper. I left printer preset at standard and not a preset where it would set a paper type, color management etc. So at this point I never told the printer what paper I used or 1440 etc. I did some prints on some Epson Semi-gloss with variations of the above settings and there is very little if any difference in the prints. So now I have some sample packs of Harmon Gloss, have the printer profile etc. Harmon says use PK and set the printer to the Water Color Radiant white paper. I "think" the following..... I "think" having a Harmon profile will make no difference with QTR. I think I'd use one of the QTR paper types in QTR that is closest to Harmon paper, no idea what that is. Should I set the printer profile to QTR or Harmon? Doc profile RGB or Gray Gamma 2.2. Anyone doing the Harmon/2200/QTR combo? Thanks for any help Neil
