sit is a mac compressed file. You can go to Alladin's website and download a
version of their decompressor (stuffit) for Linux.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: problems building quadtone rip on Linux; CUPS
library, Roy please help


  Roy and others,

  Thanks-- yes it was a bad cups-devel.rpm file.  I downloaded a new
  one from Redhat and got QuadToneRIP to build just fine.  Yeah!

  Now I need help with installing the curves though.  I want to use
  Epson Premium Luster paper with Ultrachrome inks for my printing.  I
  looked in both the sampleInks and Profiles directories of
  QuadToneRIP, but didn't see any ink curves for Epson Premium
  Luster.  I saw curves for Enhanced Matt and some other papers.

  Where can I get the curves for Premium Luster--UC inks and how do I
  install them?  I downloaded the Epson UC2200.SIT file from Roy's
  site, but I have no idea what to do with a .SIT file or if it
  contains curves for Premium Luster.  Perhaps there is some doc on
  this I didn't see?

  Just to see if I could do a print, I installed the already-provided
  curves for Enhanced Matte.  But when I ran qtcups no curves showed
  up in the dialog box (My QUAD2200 printer and QuadToneRIP choices do
  show up OK).  I selected Premium Luster paper in the dialog so
  perhaps that is why no curves showed up?

  Once I have the curves installed for Premium Luster, what settings
  should I use in the qtcups dialog box for that paper type?

  Thanks in advance for your help (anyone not just Roy!).  I am so
  close on getting this to work I can taste the ink :)
