Share experience creating digital negatives with Epson Stylus Pro 7600

[sanking]

Thanks for sharing this useful info. This is what I am expecting.

It would be wonderful if you share your sample curve settings to create digital negatives using OTR, if any. Looking forward to ;-)

Attached is a .txt file I wrote for the Epson 3800 to print pure palladium. To use, you would insert the .txt file in the profiles folder of QTR of the 3800 printer, then run the Install command. This creates and places a .quad file in Library>Printers>Quadtone>QTR>Epson 3800. This probably won't mean a lot to people who have not worked with QTR. Bear in mind that QTR profiles are custom curves designed for a particular printer, inkset, process, light source, etc. Adapting someone else's profile to your workflow requires replicating more or less the work flow of the person who created the profile.

The learning curve for QTR and digital negatives is pretty steep, but you can start with Ron Reeder's book on the subject, http://www.ronreeder.com/), or with the tutorial on Clay Harmon's website http://www.clayharmon.com.

A 7600 is a pretty old printer - I have one. If it's banding, it may be due for some head cleaning or actual maintenance.
