inkseparation8.tif is monochrome...

 

开云体育

Hi,

I use QTR 2.8.2 on a Mac Studio and EPSON P800 printer.? I do both digital inkjet prints and gum bichromate prints.? So far I have been using Photoshop along with custom curve to make digital negatives for my gum printing.? Now I want to use QTR to make my digital negatives.? I wanted to print an ink pattern page to check UV blocking capability.? I find that the inkseparation8.tif in my QuadToneRIP/Images does not have the actual colors..? Please see below.? How do I get a proper inkseparation image for my P800?

Appreciate help in resolving this...

Regards,
Ramesh
 

You need to print it to the QTR printer you've set up, and it needs to be NOT color-managed, and the QTR print options need to be set to "Calibration mode" (that's why it says Print In Calibration Mode at the top of the file). If you're on a Mac, Print-Tool does a good job of allowing you to print without color management.
is a description of how to do this, though the images of the print dialogs are out of date.

Thanks.? I am aware of that.? When I open this TIF file in Photoshop, shouldn't it show all the colors?? My issue is that the TIF file does not have all the colors. I checked other inkseparation files in images folder and they also showed similar colors as I had shown in my OP...

No issues here.? My misunderstanding of how this file looks on screen.? Regret the false alarm.

Please ignore this.
