Digital BW, The Print

About the only way I can see this happening is if you don't have the folder
"Quad1280" in the QuadTone folder--just the profiles directly in the
QuadTone folder.

Best advice I can give is:

Clean up all the folders and start over.

Use the QuadToneRIP batch files to do the installing of QuadToneRIP. Then
copy QTRgui.exe into the "bin" file. (Or download the current version which
comes with a setup file which will insist on the file structure being
correct before it will install.)
