If you want good starting points for QTR, I highly suggest joining the
Digital B&W group on Yahoo. Paul Roark is particularly knowledgable, and
Roy Harrington lurks on the list. Paul in fact is the designer of MIS's
dedicated B&W inksets and has profiles available for those inks and many
common papers.
Thanks for the tip. I may have a look there some time. I was a little
disappointed - well, a lot disappointed - in the default profiles for my
setup, considering I'm using one of the best known photo printers (Epson
2200) with OEM inks and a very popular standard paper (Epson Enhanced
Matte). The white balance was perfect but the levels curve wasn't even
close. Massive posterization in darker areas.
Which profile did you use? I hear the HPR profile is excellent on EEM.
However, I'm also pretty sure that most serious printing on the 2200 for
B&W is using the UT7 inkset or something similar, the Epson inkset for
the 2200 is not considered terribly good for non-BO B&W.
