Re: noob qtr question for R2400

2005-07-22 by Carl Schofield

I use a Mac, so I'm not sure about file management on a PC.  I think that the .txt files are 
equivalent to your .qidf files and your .quad files are generated from the former, but I 
don't know how you do this on a PC.  The icc profiles are not specific to QTR and go 
wherever all of the rest of your RGB icc profiles are stored.  You use the icc profiles when 
setting up print with preview in Photoshop as a print space associated with the 
corresponding QTR profile you intend to use for printing.  I think on the PC this is not 
done for you on the fly, as with a Mac, and you have to first convert your file to this space 
before printing.  I'd suggest you ask for help with these matters from other PC people who 
use QTR.
