[Digital BW] New Quadtone RIP and GUI doing nothing

2004-12-29 by Johnny Eades

Hello Stephen,

I did the below and the file printed through QTR!!!??? The question is
why did it do there and not through the gui?? 
This is what I ran in the .bat file to trigger the printing process
from the command window.

@color F0
CD C:\Program Files\QuadToneRIP\
".\Bin\ImageToRaster.exe" 2>QTRLog1.TXT QTRgui_2.1.7 DAD FilePrint 1
"PPD=Quad1280.ppd PRINTER=Quad1280 MediaType=Matte Pagesize=Letter
position=center scale-percent=100 portrait=yes Resolution=1440super
ColorModel=QTRIP" "K:\Completed images through Photoshop CS\Footprint
in sand.tif" | ".\Bin\QuadToPrinter.exe" 2>QTRLog2.TXT QTRgui_2.1.7
DAD FilePrint 1 "PPD=Quad1280.ppd PRINTER=Quad1280 MediaType=Matte
ripFeed=Standard Pagesize=Letter Resolution=1440super RipSpeed=hispeed
ColorModel=QTRIP stpDither=Ordered ripCurve1=UT2-EEnhMatte-neutral-2
ripCurve2=- ripBlend=100 ripGamma=0 ripLimit=0" | ".\Bin\RawPrint.exe"
2>RawLog.TXT "Black and White Printer" - "Footprint in sand.tif"
