EPSON 3800 - Curves for Hahnemühle PhotoRag Baryta and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk

EPSON 3800 - Curves for Hahnemühle PhotoRag Baryta and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk

2009-03-29 by grayscale2008

Hi!

I changed my old EPSON 2100 for a new EPSON 3800.

Normaly I am working with Hahnem�hle PhotoRag and the curves for that paper in QTR are working fine.

Now I want to test the 2 new papers Hahnem�hle PhotoRag Baryta and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk. But there are no curves in QTR.

1.) Which curves shall I use now? The Museo Silver ones?

2.) Or made somebody already curves for this papers?

3.) If I use 2800 dpi now in QTR: Did somebody expierence better images?

Thanks for any help!

All these new baryta and other papers are very similar as far as ink usage.
I've tried most of them -- Hahnemühle, Ilford, Harman -- and just use the
SilverRag profiles for all of them.   The papers have different tones so you'll
probably want to adjust sliders for different papers regardless of what profiles
you use.

If you really have lots of very sharp data you may get a little more detail at
2880dpi -- its really pretty subtle though.   The curves were all done for 1440
so you may need to adjust the "Ink Limit Adjustment" a bit for 2880.  But the
3800 turns out to be very close for both resolutions.

Hi Roy!

Thanks for your answers...

What do I have to do here? Increase or decrease the value?
