QTR zeros M & LC on a EB-8 profile

QTR zeros M & LC on a EB-8 profile

2014-08-04 by grimmieoldfart@...


I am/have created a QTR profile for PA325 (QTR-CurveView 2.7.5.0) that uses all 8 inks of a R3000. When I view the curve using QTR Curve, I noticed the M & LK have zero'd out.

Has anyone experienced such an occurrence? Any recommendations/advice to resolve this?

My profile is;

You've got 3 INK_3's -- LLK is clobbering M and LK.

GRAY_INK_3=LK
GRAY_VAL_3=36
GRAY_INK_3=M
GRAY_VAL_3=22.7
GRAY_INK_3=LLK
GRAY_VAL_3=12.3

Hi Guys,
My name is Luiz Aureliano.
I've working with fine art printing for long years and right now I have one HP Z3200 44 Photo and one Epson 9900.
I have decided to use Quadtone as soon as I've recent job that requires it.
A beautiful B&W artist book from a very good photographer here in Brazil.
I work with a quad core Mac Pro with System 10.6.8.
I've download Quadtone rip 2.7.5 and installed for Epson 9900.
It doesn9;t work.
It says that I don't have enough ink and my cartridges are empty.
Does someone can help me?
I really appreciate it.
Thank you all.

Hi Luiz,

Those are messages from the printer itself.
I'm not sure this is the issue -- but worth thinking about. The printer has 2 black inks -
a matte and a photo black. Switching blacks is done automatically and takes extra
ink. In the Epson driver this is done by what paper you select. In QTR there's specific
selector for this -- you have to pick it. You have to be aware of changing this or else
you can waste a lot of ink.
