QTR-Quadtone RIP

Well. I'm back at Black Point Editions in Chicago (after being away for 4 years).

I'm testing QTR on the 11880 now. The inksep file is printing well. I'll build out a profile for it tomorrow or early next week I think. (I'll start with cheapo enhanced matte just for testing.)

OMG! 64" QTR!

All the best,
Walker Blackwell

ps: This is getting be thinking about Piezography at 64" but nobody has built a working resetter for these beasts yet as far as I know.

yowser!

The cool thing about the 11880 is how it uses dual K ink slots like the 4000s of yore. There is no wasted ink and time switching between PK and MK.

So . . .  MK, PK, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6, Overgloss

Happy New Year everyone,

It would be helpful to know that the same configuration Walter describes here is also possible on other Epson models.

I currently have my 4880 configured for a "2 black, MPS capable system".  It is configure with MK, PK, K2-6, and GO just as Walter mentioned in his message.  I used Warm Neutral in the MK/PK slot because it has greater depth and Selenium in K2-6.  It is a great setup with no wasted ink switching.  Dana has worked with me to make curves for Canson Infinity Baryta, Hahn Photo Rag Baryta, Cone5, and Innova FB (matte - one of my old favorites).  There will be other papers profiled in the near future.

While glossy is still my favorite, many images still work better on Matte.  It is great to have this mixed system on a solid 4880 platform with large re-fillable cartridges.

Best wishes for 2012...

George

Hello everyone.

I built some quicky linearized PremSemiGloss environments for QTR 11880. (We use PremSemiGloss for facemount clients). Added some uber cyan into a "cool" environment to bump perceptual dmax under tungsten gallery light. ;)

Anyone want to give me an 11880 so I can pump Piezo through?  Just kidding.

More soon. Enjoy,
Walker Blackwell

Updated with linearized profiles for Harman Gloss FB AI, Harman Gloss FB AI WT, and non-linearized Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 (the 308 may change in black boost depending upon how these patches dry down the next 24 hrs.)

All the best,
Walker
