Working with Quadtone RIP Interface 2.6, under "Curve Settings", I find settings for "Raw." There are Raw UCmk and UCpk. So, what does the "raw" indicate? I'm familiar with shooting in raw format, but does that have anything to with the papers listed under "Curve Settings"? And what does the UCmk and UCpk mean? Thanks in advance from Norm.

UCmk stands for UltraChrome Matte Black (Black = K) UCpk stands for UltraChrome Photo Black I never noticed the "raw" paper, most likely I use a different printer, but I noticed it now under the R2400. I can only guess that it is a kind of basic/general purpose/raw curve, perhaps for uncoated paper? Definitely nothing to do with raw file format Joost --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Diana" <dispitzley@...> wrote: > > --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "nsams2002" <normsams@> wrote: > > > > Working with Quadtone RIP Interface 2.6, under "Curve Settings", I > find > > settings for "Raw."

It's only in the curve set-up for my Epson 3800 printer, not 2100. > > >

The "Raw" curves are just non-linearized curves. For the most part these are what most of the curves are based on. I.e. print out a stepwedge on a new paper, unless there's something to tweak just linearize and you're done. Roy
