QTR curves & profiles

2006-12-10 by Richard Smallfield

Hi,
about a year ago I tried making profiles for QTR for my 2100 with my scanner and the results were terrible. I can't afford PrintFix Pro - not until I can sell more work. 
For colour printing it's possible to send off test prints to various places to get custom profiles made (my paper vendor does it for free). With a RIP it is much more complex and I wondered if anyone is offering the service of remotely making custom curves and profiles for QTR.

I could always do RGB prints with the custom profiles using the Epson driver, but under fluorescent light they go noticeably magenta and QTR is so much better at reducing metamerism - so that's the way I want to keep printing.

thanks,
Richard
