Re: [Digital BW] QTR neutral curve PKN, UT7 Light warm/cool grey

2005-02-21 by Steve Kale

Also I keep getting:

Enter Descriptor Filename or Drag file to window:
/Applications/CurveDesign/SGK_Profiles/Glop/ISP-Cool-glopovercoat.txt
Creating curve ISP-Cool-glopovercoat for QUAD2200
can't open or read curve /tmp/QTRtemp.LK2
usage:  qmerge format curve1 curve2 ... curveN >out.quad
  possible formats:  KCMY,  KCMYcm or KCMYcmk


When I Run Quad Profile for the following cool curve.  I assume it is not
used to 5 unused inks and that the error message can be ignored?
