QTR-Quadtone RIP

I am converting my E2200 to use QTR and K7 inks. I would like to know if it is necessary to 
purge my system first or do as InkJetMall says "No Purging Necessary".

Thanks, I have checked the old messages and no one speaks directly to this issue.

I didn't run any special cleaning catridges through my 2200 when I  
converted to NK7. You do have to "purge" the system enough to get rid of  
any remaining color inks. I just printed the 7 color purge pattern file  
until there was no trace of any coloration in any of the sections. You can  
get the purge7.tif file from the MIS web site, but I believe it is  
available from several places on the web.

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me how to change the B&W contrast of my prints?

I use the Epson R2400, K7 inks, QTR and HanPhoto Rag Satin Curves. Epson
Matte paper.

I need more contrast in my print.  Thanks for any suggestion.

Best,
Joe

Joe,

Print out the 21-step target and check that it looks OK, with a good range of tones from 
white to black, and if you have a spectrometer, check the densities against the ideal 
density chart in the QTR distribution. Assuming that's all OK, your printing setup is
probably fine, and your contrast issue is in the particular image you're trying to print.
Best way to adjust contrast (in my opinion) is to apply a curve in a layer in Photoshop.
