Re: The Advantages of QTR Are?
Bernie, that's about it. I don't think you can assign a grayscale profile until you 'convert' to grayscale, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless, you do need to 'convert' to first the LAB--because you

Re: QTR EEnh matte cool Se curve

Re: The Advantages of QTR Are?
Steve, I'm a newbie too at QTR but maybe because I've read the other list for several years (and have been printing b/w for a good while, first with the 1280 and with the 2200) and am pretty familiar

Re: QTR EEnh matte cool Se curve
The "CoolSe" curve uses slightly more light magenta than light cyan, whereas a "Cool"
curve uses equal amounts of light magenta and light cyan to cool the warm light black ink.
The "CoolSe" is an

Re: The Advantages of QTR Are?
Steve, the BIG advantage of using QTR over PS is the lack of metamerism in monotones. I've printed b/w or monotones for years with first a 1280 and then my 2200. I print from either PS or Qimage. I

Re: Dumb questions

Re: QuadTone RIP tutorial or FAQ
1. Ah--thanks. I never had a darkroom though I would have loved to in my film days--all I could think of with a 'roundabout'was the auto 'roundabouts'--which I first encountered years ago in Canada

Re: QTR 'alternate' curves
Someone suggested starting with the HPR cool/warm curves for 2200 and increase the ink limit.
