Re: [Digital BW] QuadTone RIP Installation on MacG4 with OSX- Thanks!!!!!!!

Carl,

Thanks for yur help and prompt response.

The Epson 22200 curves are now installed and appear as they should in the print set 
up screen.  I printed one print this evening and all seems to be working.

The installation problem turned out to be something with the Install Quad profile 
scrip running in terminal.  This was my  first time under the hood in OS X other than 
using Emacs or Pico to edit a file.  I noted that when I ran the Install script program 
terminal opened but after I dropped the profile txt files and hit enter only the text 
files themselves were in the Curve Drop Box.  At no time  was I asked for a password.
On my last try, I brought up terminal and first logged in, left terminal open and then 
ran the install script....I dropped the cool/warm txt files and the profiles were 
properly installed.   Maybe this is a pecularity of OS X, but since I login on startup it 
seems I should not have to login again in terminal.  I did all this as administrator 
under my user login not as root.

Maybe this wll help someone else.

One last question.  In the first Print with Preview screen in PS, should I seclect Output 
or Color Managment and if Color Management what are the recommended Source 
Space and Print Space settngs for the grayscale image file and Epson Enhanced Matte 
Paper?

Again many thanks for your help and a tip of my hat to you and Roy!

David
