Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Help Changing Ink Limits for Profile

2007-01-16 by Scott Schroeder

All I can tell is you is that 1440 profile is nothing like the 2880.
You can't make the kind of curves in the 2880 profile from tools in QTR.
If you right click the profile in QTRgui (if you are on windows), you'll see
what the 1440 curves look like.
The 1440 has inklimit up there at 75 with that black boost.
Notice on the 1440 profile it's just LK and K 95-100
On the 2880 curve it's FIVE inks in that region.
They are just two totally different beasts.
