Walker says that Piezo is 200% more supported on Mac, but the fact remains that there are plenty of people printing Piezo on Windows quite happily, yours truly included. In that sense QTR is better supported on a Mac. On a Mac using Print Tool, or perhaps Qimage One, you could specify the ICC as part of the print process. If you print via QTRGui and want to print using ICCs rather than in GG22, then you have to do the conversion to the ICC yourself in Photoshop and save it as a copy and print that. It’s not as complicated as it sounds and I can elaborate further if you decide to go this path. not RGB, then you need to turn colour management off in Qimage. If your images are in grey gamma 2.2, i.e. So if you want to print using a Piezo QTR ICC it needs to be an RGB ICC. This in effect mimics printing direct to a printer.īut last I looked Qimage didn’t handle monochrome ICCs. When a new file appears there, QTRGui will print it automatically. In QTRGui you set all the options (paper size, curves) the way you want and then you set QTRGui to “monitor” a folder, the one that Qimage deposits its processed files into. The workflow is you set Qimage to print to a file. Some people prefer its on-the-fly resizing and sharpening algorithms. It is possible to integrate Qimage and QTR, but the workflow is quite different. If you’re printing using Qimage and a Piezo supplied ICC, then I guess you’re attempting to simulate the Piezo look, except that Qimage won’t know anything about the Piezo Pro inks and will be trying to do that with OEM inks, and what you actually get will be a roll of the dice. Qimage only prints to installed (physical) printers. It’s a separate program with a GUI front end, QTRGui, that interacts directly with the printer, bypassing the Epson printer driver. On Windows QTR does not install as a printer. Print Tool is one such application, and I think that Qimage One for Mac now also does that. In practice, if you don’t want to print using ICCs, and many people don’t, then there are only a few programs that will enable you to do that and not have the OS do hidden color management. Given this, in theory you can print to QTR from any application. So you would see two 9890 printers - the physical one and a virtual QTR one. As a Windows QTR user and sometime Qimage user (and a very occasional Mac user) perhaps I can elaborate a little on Walker’s reply.
