Re: New members
Diane Fields
开云体育I guess I was too late to the party and didn't
receive any 'notes' from new members (assuming you mean initial posts).?
Looking forward to this group as I'm new to QTR.? I have demoed it for
several weeks now and plan to send my 'shareware' amount to Roy today.?

are 7 members, only 2 posts.? I do hope that there will be some activity
here as there seem to be a number of new QTR users.? I"ve even set up my
QTR folder for posts to be moved there when dled? *smile.

Re: New members
Djon
Diane, thanks for setting this up!
Everybody should visit Diane's gallery: www.base.com/picnic Lots of well-seen, non-trivial work Diane, I like the quietest stuff best...your "product photos" of ceramics are the quietest of the lot, but that kind of minimalist photography can be very rewarding...as you've shown. Your "monochromes" not only record objects and places from another era, they look like they were taken in another era.

Re: New members
Diane Fields
开云体育I didn't-----this is Scott Graham's?doing
*smile*.??? I had made a comment about the fact that it would be
nice to have good info about QTR in the B/W file forum--in fact, suggested a
post by Lou Dina which I had found in a search and had copied for my own
use---but then Scott took the ball and ran with it and set all this up.?
Hope we have some good activity on the group.

If you missed his initial post on digital b/w here it is.?

"What would be even
better would be a subgroup, like a sub folder or sub directory, but I
don't know that that is possible in Yahoo groups, so a new group is starting strictly focused on QTR.? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP The intent of course is QTR related posts, but we will also offer an instruction manual eventually and whatever else seems reasonable.? Will also depend on what resources we can attract, and donations (of files: hints, tips, etc). Hopefully non QTR related items will continue to post here because this is a great group.? As a matter of fact non QTR items will be "moderated out" with a link to here. I am in discussion with Roy Harrington about how much or how little involvement he will have time for/be interested in.? I would hate to distract him from further technical upgrades to the RIP. The group will start slowly if only because I am in the midst of a cross country drive.? Come join "us"; it is lonely l over here? :) Suggestions are welcome: like maybe "don't bug us with another darn group, or..."? or "it's crass to post this on someone else'sgroup" (I am sort of bothered by that) Scott Graham" ?
Thanks very much for your nice comments about
my gallery.?

Introduction
Hi Group,
I really hope this group takes off. I have been reading the DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint group. While this is a nice group it is not focused on the subject that is important to me, and that is the Quadtone RIP. Let me introduce myself. I am an electronic engineer. I have worked in remote sensing (airborne sensors and satellite ground stations) and color science (designing proofers for the graphic arts industry). I have a Leaf Valeo 22 megapixel digital back on my Hasselblad and print on an Epson 4000. I am a member of the Western Photographic Circle, which is a print making club. Good luck and I hope we can attract Roy Harrington over to this group. Ray |

MIgrating QTR to a new printer
William Cheadle
Ok, I guess I'll get the ball rolling with a QTR specific question.
I've been usin QTR since it was released for Windows with my 2200. I'll be taking delivery on an Epson 4000 in about a week and the newest release of QTR is printer specific. Has anybody else changed printers? Is it as simple as just re-running the installation program, or do I need to un-install / re-install? I'll be gratefull for any advice. |

Re: Digest Number 0
All you need to do is install the new software, then choose your printer. However, I use the Macintosh G5 w/OSX8.3.8 and it is rther simplified to install various printers.

Moderation Policies
Scott Graham
Hi All,
I have heard that Scott is grumpier than heck and will moderate moderately strictly. So, the idea here in the QTR group is to make QTR info available and relatively easy to find instead of being mixed in with a ton of other good stuff like in the B&W group. Hence: 1. non QTR techno stuff will be gracefully rejected with a suggestion to post it to the B&W group which I greatly admire. 2. non techno stuff period will be dumped "moderately" gracefully; this includes politics, religion, philosophy, ads, and "everything else of a similar genre". This also includes bashing anything, anyone and any company. My general thought is that most of the problems that cause company bashing, for example, are user induced. There are famous exceptions of course. 3. related to number 2: there are EXCEPTIONS. The ones that come to mind are ads of GENERAL interest like "QTR can now be used with 'our inks', etc... And "welcome to my exhibition in Paris, tickets are attached"... What I was trying to say in the previous sentence is that showings of work are another major exception, unless they seem very commercial. So how do we tell? post it and see. 4. also related to number 2: I hope that posts will exhibit grace to a greater or lesser extent. Every once in a while I myself goof on this (lose it?) so DUMP ON ME, BUT via EMAIL, NOT a POST. Often I catch it myself and go back and delete the post before more than a few thousand people have suffered it. :) 5. Also considered not the best post is a "thank you for bailing me out of deep ???". Send an email to the savior. They will appreciate it and our digests will not be astronomical in size. 6. Speaking of data size, please delete most of the thread that you reply to, leaving only enough for context. Repeated failure to do this in the long run will lead to mutual frustration. 7. Initially post anything that you think might fit or nearly fit; I will be happy to consider it and you might well help me define what I mean by all this. Incidentally members and posts are not currently reviewed before they appear in public and I do not expect them to be. If you have looked at the Epson 4000 group, it operates much like this; is very useful; and I do almost zero actual moderation. Kirk started it right one might say. 8. If you should someday find that you are no longer a member, don't take it as a major insult. It will mean that in my opinion you have stepped fairly far over the line. Rejoin and we'll try again. On the other hand if you are ever banned, hmmm. I have only done that once in a year on the other group. 9. And when you read this you may well notice that the formating stinks; word wrapping at the darnest places, etc. I have never figured out how to fix this and would appreciate advice. Is it just a Safari thing or???? Happy posting Scott Graham |

new mwmber
Hi! I'm Ian McKee and I've just come over from digital BW.
I'm a retired chemist who still has and uses the darkroom but I also got a 4000 and have been having a ball printing from my scanned images with QTR. I shoot mostly film 4x5 and 5x7 and am happy to expand my printing to inkjet. I'm also particularly interested in making large digital negatives for contact printing. I'll be talking with you in the future (I've already had some conversation with Diane who was really helpful.) Ian |

QTR profiles
rgayres44
A while back I tried QTR on the MAC under Jaguar and vaguely remember part of the
program allowing the editing of profiles/curves. I recently downloaded the current version for Panther and cannot find a way to edit profiles. Apparently this can be done on the PC version. Can someone steer me in the right direction? regards, Rich |

Roll printing?
Scott Graham
HI
Am interested in hearing roll printing experiences, on QTR of course :) Both Mac and PC Is it working for you? Do you run it simultaneously with loaded and active Epson drivers? If so, are the Epson drivers set up on USB or Firewire? I have been running Ep on FW for roll and setup QTR for roll on USB. The good news is that nothing bad happened so far. (some one mentioned that it might ruin the printer to have both cables setup at once). I have not made the QTR work yet. Thanks Scott |

Re: Roll printing?
Scott, my wife and I have been running our 4000 on roll paper with QTR with no problems. We're using only USB cable. We're also using the 4000 for color printing using the Epson driver and I'm printing through a network setup.
I don't know why you'd want to hook up both firewire and USB; what's the advantage? Ian |

UT7 curves
Hi,
My name is Jim weekes and I have loved QTR ever since the GUI for it came out. I need all the help I can get. I have been a photographer for 35 years. I had three different studios in Vermont and managed a color lab for seven of those years. I also had a darkroom up until I got a D30 and saw what Photoshop could do with a HUGE 3 megapixel file. The chemistry had been getting to me so I have effectively quit the darkroom for all but film developing in MF. I am writing to see if everyone knows about the UT7 curves for the 2200. I am on the Digital B&W forum and, at one point, Stephen Billiard, the author of the GUI, put out a list of curves for GUI and UT7 EEM warm and cool were on it. He immediately said it was a mistake and that he had published a list that Roy was working on. Having a 2200 set up with UT7 ink made me write to Roy and ask. He, very kindly, sent them to me with a disclaimer that they weren't finished. Well, to my eye, with very little tweaking, they make lovely prints. I would suggest that anyone with the 2200/UT7 combo give them a try. Best, Jim Weekes |

Re: UT7 curves
Diane Fields
开云体育Jim,
?
Do I understand that you are not using the
ultrachrome inks?? So I'm understanding that you are doing no color
printing with the 2200 but have made it a dedicated b/w printer.? I have
considered doing this with my 1280, but have not gotten around to it.? I
found QTR and was very excited that I could use my UC inks with it--and have
been very pleased.? Since I print some color also--I am interested in those
that are using it as 'dedicated' and those that are using hte UC inks---or
anybody that has tried it both ways.
?
Diane

Advantage? mostly habit I guess. FW works great and why change?

roll min paper length?
Scott Graham
Has anyone tested the min allowed custom paper length using roll QTR?
I was trying to save money on tests and used a 4 inch length for the Epson driver; the result was 8 inches of a 16 inch wide image. When I upped the defined length to 6 inches it seemed to work fine. But with QTR 6 inches wouldn't work, then I had to hit the road. Does anyone know what the minimum roll paper length is for QTR? longer than 6 inches, or do I have something else wrong? Thanks Scott |

[Quadtone RIP] Curves for Epson 2200/2100
Bernie Raffe
开云体育Hi, ? I’m not very pleased with the neutrality (and bronzing) of my black and white prints using QTR RIP / Epson 2100 / Ilford Smooth Pearl paper. ? Does anybody have any curves that might help or any other advice. The settings I use in QTR Rip are:- ? Media Type: Premium Luster Photo Paper Curves: UCpk-EPPremSemiGloss-cool 50 UCpk-EPPremSemiGloss-cool ? Tried a few of the other built in curves, but the above seems to be the best. ? Any help appreciated. ? Thanks, Bernie ? -- |
