HELP! My Prints are Coming Out Brown.....Why?
Steve
When I use the QTR to print on either Epson Premium Luster or Ilford
Smooth Pearl papers, my prints have a strong brownish hue to them. Even with a Curve of 100% cool, they are still printing out brown. Why is this happening? All the QTRgui settings are correct and I converted to the Photo Gray profile. By the way, I should add that the QTR works great on Enhanced Matte paper (looks far superior than printing from PS and with NO magenta tinge to them under the flourescent lights). What a relief. I'd appreciate hearng back from someone who might be able to help me. Thanks! Steve |

Thanks, Will. When I did the step wedges on the luster papers with
pk, I noticed that they were quite warm, but thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. --- In QuadtoneRIP@..., Will <will@p...> wrote: SteveIlford them.Smooth Pearl papers, my prints have a strong brownish hue to brown.Even with a Curve of 100% cool, they are still printing out MatteWhy is this happening?

Am finally starting to experiment with QTR on Enhanced Matte. While the print using the cool curve (100-0 of cool/warm) looks neutral by itself, in comparison to an Epson driver print it is warmer. My Epson driver prints are COLD, and I sort of like them. I don't see a NoK curve as mentioned in the 78/79 messages. And don't know if it would work for matte anyway. I have loaded the latest Mac version 2.1D. Suggestions? Thanks Scott --- In QuadtoneRIP@..., Will <will@p...> wrote:SteveIlford |

I got news for you, I have the NoK curve and it doesn't work, or at
least I can't get it to work, for this application. When I tried printing using the QTR on lustre paper using the NoK curve, images come out very faint and grey. I used the Photo black and and then the Matte Black ink the results were the same. --- In QuadtoneRIP@..., "Scott Graham" <gebilwil@n...> wrote: While the print using the cool curve (100-0 of cool/warm) looks neutral by itself, incomparison to an Epson driver print it is warmer.don't know if it would work for matte anyway.
