QTR 'alternate' curves
|
Diane Fields
开云体育I haven't yet tried creating any curves for
papers I have--mainly because I'm sampling and trying to make a decision on what
paper(s) I will use with QTR.? I've done this before with papers for color
images both on 1280 and 2200, but printing 21 step wedges on papers with QTR for
sampling without specific curves for some papers has presented me with a
question.
?
Carl Schofield on Digital B/W list just
mentioned the use of some of the available curves for 'alternate' papers, but I
wonder about others.
?
For instance,? I received the Innova
sample pack and would love to know what others have used for the Photo FB, Soft
Textured Art and Photo Smooth White Cotton.? I also printed sepia/cool on
William Turner, but wonder about what curve others would use (bar using a
custom).? There are some others--which I try to do a search on in forum,
but we all know the problems with that.? I also try to find specs on the
papers listed that I'm unfamiliar with and see if they are anywhere close to the
paper I'm working with.
?
BTW--someone suggested that Concord Rag was
lovely for sepia--I concur.? I found one piece left and did step
wedges.? Not sure I would use this paper, but it is very nice for that
purpose.

cool/warm curves for 2200 and increase the ink limit.

I'm printing a series of step wedges on each
paper from 100% warm to 100% cool--I'll try using?the HPR curve?and
increasing the ink limit.? I'm wondering about some of the other
papers--for instance, William Turner.? Do most people start with either the
EEnh or HPR curves warm/cool?for printing a series of
wedges???Someone else suggested that it would be really helpful if
there was a folder on the forums or?downloadable curves or?suggestions
of available curves for use with 'alternate' papers.

Shorthand for 'laughing out loud', but basically is a way to add some 'body language' (IMO) to posts that could be read in many ways. For those of us that have been around on the net for years and years, one forgets that not everyone knows all the acronyms, etc.

Glad you are 'getting it'. I'm in the middle of writing a post about the possibility of someone writing some tutorials or a FAQ for this forum. I think that many are just not sure where to begin--and esp. which curves to use for what---and how. I've printed 10 papers with series of step wedges and that certainly is helping me nail down which papers I'll use for what images. In the past I've been using Epson Velvet or Hahnemuhle PHotorag for b/w for the most part (at least as my matte paper) and they are still high on my list (though both have OBA--optical brighteners--and this seems to be something others on the Digital B/W list stay away from) but I'm really liking 2 of the new Innova papers.
