Re: QuadToneRIP 2.0

It looks to me as though you haven't created any curves yet so the
Install-Curves script is just saying there aren't any.

You can find some examples of ink descriptions in ExampleInks.  The idea
is to start with one that uses a similar printer and with a similar ink set.
Then tuning the values based on a few calibration runs.

The GettingStarted file has a fair amount of description of this.
