Epson 3800 shared for colour and QTR

Epson 3800 shared for colour and QTR

2008-06-26 by jeffgrantau

I have an Epson 3800 network connected. I am running OS S 10.5.3. Having just installed 
QTR, I can't get it to print. I get an invalid settings message when I look at the print queue. 
Can I have the same printer concurrently defined for use with the Epson driver and QTR?

Cheers,
Jeff

Derar Jeff,

I work with epson 4800; In the manual is stated that you should  
connect with USB

Thanks Walther. I also have a USB printer but have the same problem. I need to share the 
printer for colour and B&W but am having difficulty working out how to to it.

Cheers,
Jeff

Dear Jeff,

I also work with osx  10.5.3 (Leopard). I do all printing from  
Photoshop CS3.


  ----------




In the print menu first I  have to select the printer in the page  
setup menu. If you want collor you select teh epson driver.

If you select quad 4800 (in your case this should be quad 3800) the  
driver will print collor information as black and white (BW).

If I print BW off course I convert the file in CS3 first to BW. Choose  
profile and let Photoshop manage collors, and choose the ICC profile  
for your paper.

In this case see below, I choose QTR Matte Paper. (I have excellent  
results with Hahnemule Rag brite 310 (RB 310) paper for BW) Find below  
my settings:


  ----------




In order to manage the black density well and to achieve  neutral BW  
with deep black and excellent white tone I use the sliders below.


  ----------



This is what you see in the summary of the print menu


  ----------





Installation of QTR software should done with USB. If you did  
otherwise, first deinstall QTR. And reinstall. QTR did not work with  
my network. My regular Epson driver still works via network.

For the Hahnemule paper  (RB 310) I first determined the Ink limits  
and calulated the values for the curve text file (QuadtoneRip curce  
descripter file)


  ----------




I donnot posses a densitometer in order to produce a better  
calibration file. I did scan the ink limits files on a Epson 570  
scanner and did read the values as tiff files in labmode in CS3.


  ----------





  ----------



Good luck.
