Re: [QuadtoneRIP] using Epson 1400 profiles on a 1430

2019-09-20 by Paul Roark

I think my transition from the 1400 to the 1430 went without a hitch, but I don't specifically recall.

I use the Natural Aurora. The difference is OBA's in the White. They'll fade, but whether that matters is subjective.

For most I recommend the toner take the Y position. This light 2% ink there is lighter than needed. The LM (or 6% dilution) can easily cover the light end. So, knock the Y out of the gray partition in QTR and "Show Curve" to save it and generate the *.quad file QTR actually uses.

Since only the very light end is affected, it may be fine without any new linearization.

The Y can use the bluish toner I give a formula for and MIS sells a clone of. I manually draw the toner curves. QTR may also have a set of generic "toner" curves that will do an acceptable job -- not sure about that, however. If nothing more, they can be starter curves if nothing else works.

Good luck.

For now, am using Red River paper on a 1400. I found this file


Eb6-RedRiverAurora-11-2011


in the 1400 family of profiles. At the beginning of the qidf profile I find this line:


PRINTER=Quad1400-MIS


Can I simply change the 1400 to a 1430? In other words, does the computer "read" that line to direct the qidf to

a different family of printers?


Also, according to the RedRiver website there are two Auroras ... Aurora Art White and Aurora Art Natural. Which one is this qidf using?


Finally, can I alter the profile to generate a pair of VT profiles?


Thank you,
