QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello,

I have been testing for a cyanotype curve on OHP for the Epson 4880. I 
printed my tests on 8.5x11" and got really good results. I want to 
print the final results on 13x19" OHP, but every time I initiate a 
print sequence, it stops two inches into the print. IThe printer 
doesn't send an error message. I simply have to halt the printing, or 
wait five minutes for the printer to spit out the film. I was able, 
however, to print the 8.5x11" test file on the 13x19" sheet, but it 
will not permit a full sized image. I'm very frustrated at this point. 

I am using the latest QTR and running it on Leopard. I have have 
deinstalled it once now, and threw away all related profile info. 
PLEASE tell me what is going on. I will be very greatfull.

Chris

Chris,

I am very interested in your process as I am also using QTR for  
cyanotype curves on OHP. Though I am printing on an Epson 4000. I have  
not tried printing on 13x19 OHP. However, I am printing 72" long  
panoramas on 17" roll OHP. The first time I did this QTR would only  
print a very small portion of the image. I discovered (with the help  
of this post http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/message/5549) 
  that "document size must be smaller than your page setup size by the  
amount" of the printers default minimum margins. I am not sure this is  
your problem but once I set my custom document size to include the  
printer margins and scaled my image to fit inside those dimensions, it  
worked.

I am also interested in your cyanotype work and the curves you have  
created. If you are inclined give me some details.

Best,

Scott Huette

It was not a QTR issue. I called Epson and a wonderfully helpful customer service person 
helped me reset the printer. The curve looks great. If anyone is doing cyanotype, I will be 
happy to email the curve and txt. If you also happen to have a 4880 alt process curve, I 
would appreciate that information. There isn't a lot out there yet.

Scott,

You're web image looks great. I actually came across it earlier when looking for a solution to 
my problem. I'll be happy to share the curve and txt with you. As I mentioned in my earlier 
post, the curve is very close. The step wedge looks excellent, and the numbers match up 
fairly well with the densities.  

Chris

Dear Hippolyte,

I do have a 4800 with the pupouse of making cyanotype. Would be very  
gratefulle if you send me the curve txt with explanation of the other  
settings such as  paper and ink.

Dear Hippolyte,

I am printing my negs on a 2880. I have spent the past 2 weeks patiently printing step tablets with QTR but am struggling to find a solution to the perfect cyanotype curve. I am not getting enough detail in the highlights or they are staining. I would be very grateful if you could share your curve with me so that I have a new starting point. Many thanks in advance for your help and for sharing your knowledge.
Cheers.
Felicitas

Yes, I am trying to build a QTR curve for cyanotype and would appreciate whatever started curve you may be willing to share
