Re: Curves for IGFS on 3880

2014-11-07 by tyler@...

I don't have a 3880 so no direct experience with that exact issue, but I looked in the 3880 profile install folder and do not see a IGFS curve set to install. QTR does not have curve sets available for every paper, not being Roy, or others making curves for distribution, my impression is that they try to cover papers most used, or most representative of a segment of the paper market.
Without specific provided curves to install, the general approach to my knowledge is to use curves for a paper that behaves very similarly. In your case, you have 3 PK paper curve sets there to try i ncluding an Ilford smooth, one or more will be very very close if not identical. These coatings linearize very similarly. To fine tune an unsupported paper, you simply relinearize a curve set that is working well, or easier- make a qtr profile with an exisitng paper curve set to use when printing. That's what I've done for others who regularly use QTR.
