Low resolition/“grainy” prints-negatives

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #18699 Hello, I’m struggling to print negatives for alt. processes.? the negatives printed with QTR and the prints shows grain or what I assume is a dither pattern. Pleas see the image attached. The negative is printed on Epson SC-P6000 with Print Tool version 2.3.4.(1) on Fomei clear film 180( pictorico alternative in Central Europe), using the OEM Epson inks.? The curves are created with QuadToneProfiler-proDN The quad tone rip is set to 2880 dpi, uni-directional, photo black ink. Version 2.8.2 for Mac OS I’ve been struggling with QTR for a while, and started to print negatives with Epson ABW, when I get beautifully smooth prints. However I would like to utilize all the advantages of QTR/Print Tool workflow.? I hope someone could advice me pleas what I’m doing wrong. Thank you

I've been testing different transparency materials over the past few weeks to see if there is a suitable alternative to Ultra Premium OHP. So far, the answer is no. While some material may _look_ like they can hold the ink, (in addition to another serious problem) the ink actually clumps together as it dries and appears as exaggerated grain or printer dots. I'm getting examples together for an?article comparing different ink sets and transparency materials. I'm still testing, but I am considering adding different starter curves to allow people to use cheaper transparency films (and just explain the drawbacks backs of doing so). Hope that helps,?

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #18721 I figured out, the issue was caused by the scanner connected while printing with QTR.? once I disconnected the scanner and closed Silver Fast, the prints were fine.?
greg brophy Member Profile All Messages By This Member #18724 开云体育 What a strange issue. Seems to make more sense lately to have a computer dedicated solely to printing and not updating it until all bugs are worked out. I see and hear of so many people having issues because of updates and now other devices attached.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 31, 2024, at 5:40?AM, tomasmouckastudio@... wrote: ?I figured out, the issue was caused by the scanner connected while printing with QTR.? once I disconnected the scanner and closed Silver Fast, the prints were fine.?
