QuadToneRIP / GIMP error msg meaning

QuadToneRIP / GIMP error msg meaning

2003-08-16 by J Michael Sullivan

Installed QuadTOneRIP v2.0 on my Mac OS X 10.2.6
I can print letter size images but no other sizes (even though they show up in the list)

Curiously, in my Print-GIMP-Errorlog I always see the following:

E [15/Aug/2003:17:06:42 -0400] Filter "iProofRIPX" cannot be found!
E [15/Aug/2003:17:06:42 -0400] Filter "pdftops" cannot be found!

What does this mean?
Looks like I didn't install something?

It would appear the two things are unrelated: I *CAN* print on any size paper via GIMP 
-- just not through Photoshop, which I've been told is a carbon-based application 
and thus cannot take full advantage of the MacOS. I will be curious to see of PS 8 
fixes this.

So my workflow for the time being is:

- edit to my heart's content in Photoshop
- proof inside of Photoshop using the QuadToneRIP/GIMP at lettersize
- when I'm ready to print larger, then save a copy of the file as JPEG
- open it in Preview
- print using the QuadToneRIP/GIMP to any size paper I want

But my question remains: anyone know what the two log errors (mentioned below)  
mean?

Michael,

I've made prints (2200 printer) on both letter size and super B size  
papers via QTR in Photoshop.  Is it just custom (user defined) paper  
sizes that you can't use?

you installed iproofX (maybe the demo) it was not uninstalled properly  
- for some reason they conflict with other. I think iproof has an  
uninstall routine (can't remember) if that is the case - reinstall  
iproof then use the uninstaller then install gimp again.

Re: [Digital BW] QuadToneRIP / GIMP error msg meaning

2003-08-16 by Mac Daddy

I'm also getting strange messages in my error log.  I'm running QTR 2 on 
my RedHat 9 box.  Printer is an Epson 2200 on the parallel port.  I'm 
printing from a Win2000 machine which is using the printer via 
Samba/CUPS.  I'm trying to go through the Ink Calibration procedure 
described in the documentation, and I'm encountering this in my log:

I [16/Aug/2003:13:17:08 -0400] Job 44 queued on 'QTR2200' by 'justin'.
I [16/Aug/2003:13:17:08 -0400] Started filter 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 1032) for job 44.
I [16/Aug/2003:13:17:08 -0400] Started filter 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster (PID 1033) for job 44.
I [16/Aug/2003:13:17:08 -0400] Started filter 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/quadrastertoprinter (PID 1034) for job 44.
I [16/Aug/2003:13:17:08 -0400] Started backend 
/usr/lib/cups/backend/epson (PID 1035) for job 44.
E [16/Aug/2003:13:17:35 -0400] [Job 44] Back-channel read error - 
Input/output error!

This is not a fatal error because the job still gets printed.  My wedges 
all look about half as dense as they should, i.e.  100% black looks 
 more like 50% black.  I turned up my density all the way, check out 
lpoptions:

job-sheets=none,none copies=1 number-up=1 wrap=false position=top-left 
stpDither=Adaptive stpImageType=Continuous stpInkType=PhotoCMYK7 
InputSlot=Auto MediaType=Matte Resolution=1440x1440hq2 
stpBrightness=1000 stpContrast=1000 stpCyan=1000 stpDensity=2000 
stpGamma=1000 stpMagenta=1000 stpSaturation=1000 stpYellow=1000 
PageSize=A4 ripBlend=100 ColorModel=QTCAL ripCurve1=EEM_2200-calib 
ripCurve2=-

Maybe it's a workflow problem?  I'm basically just opening 
inkpattern.psd, abandoning the color profile in the document, and 
printing it from the (Same as source) Adobe Gama 2.2 space.  

This is terribly frustrating, as the wedges look quite neutral despite 
their lack of density.  Examination with a loupe (8x) shows A LOT of 
white at 100%.

The only other idea I had was I was either using the wrong curve or it 
was installed incorrectly.  Daniel suggested I try the ink calibration 
process.  Changing the hardware ink limit from 70 to 100 in the new 
calibration curve had no affect.  The calibration curve was just a copy 
of one of the included 2200 curves modified sleightly for printer name 
and the ink limit.

Any ideas?

When you print the inkpattern.psd file to establish ink limits the  
first time ink limit should be 100 and be sure to set CALIBRATION=YES  
in the profile and also calibration mode must be specified in the  
driver.

PRINTER=QUAD2200
CURVE_NAME=2200-test
CALIBRATION=YES
GRAPH_CURVE=YES

#
# number of inks must be 4, 6, or 7
# the ink limits are percentages
#   usually they are all the same but they can be individually set
#
N_OF_INKS=7
DEFAULT_INK_LIMIT=100

LIMIT_K=
LIMIT_C=0
LIMIT_M=0
LIMIT_Y=0
LIMIT_LC=
LIMIT_LM=
LIMIT_LK=

2003-08-16 by J Michael Sullivan

No. I've tried both custom page sizes (e.g. 20"x30") as well as the canned GIMP page 
sizes that come with a GIMP installation. Nothing other than lettersize will print via 
Photoshop.

However, I can print ANY page size using Preview -- weird isn't it?
Any ideas here? Apparently dozens of other GIMP users have the same problem 
judging from the threads on the GIMP forums.

hmmm.. you may be right. But I can't remember intalling it. (I can' remember NOT 
installing it either!!!) I probably did at one time as I was trying all sorts of things a few 
months back. Guess I'll give it a try. Thanx for the suggestion

Re: [Digital BW] QuadToneRIP - Ink Problem at 1440x440 on Epson 2200

2003-08-17 by David M. dorn

I have QuadTone  RIP installed on my Mac G4 and it is working very well 
when I print at 1440x720.  However on all 3 of my attempts to print at 
1440x1440, the printer is literally flooding the page with ink.  The 
page is almost saturated with ink except for areas that are approaching 
pure white.  I can print at all resolutions with the Epson driver 
without problems.  I double checked to make certain I had selected 
Photograph and not Line Art when making the setup selections.

Is anyone else having a similar problem? Is this a Gimp-Print or 
Ghostscript related issue.  So far all my settings have be made through 
the PS7 print preview and print screens.  This is may first experience 
with Gimp-Print and Ghostscript and I am uncertain how I  would make 
changes there even if I had to do so.

Regards,

David

Yes, this is a known problem.  You should use only the 1440x720 Highest 
Quality resolution setting.

Carl,

Again, thanks for all your help.  I not sure that the higher setting 
really would add anything; I was more interested in testing the limits.

Would there be any point to experimenting with a separate set of 
cool/worm curves with different ink settings to solve the problem or is 
this just an inherent problem in the way the 2200 functions at the 
higher resolution settings?

Best regards,

David

David,

I also didn't think that the higher res settings would add that much  
more to print quality so I haven't bothered trying to re-profiling at  
these settings.  I really don't know why the 1440x1440 setting opens  
the flood gates on the 2200, but it is definitely not suited for this  
printer with gimp.  I may try some of the other dither options- the  
Eventone one in particular.

Move to quarantaine
