Curves for papers not listed for QTRIP 2.2a

Curves for papers not listed for QTRIP 2.2a

2005-03-07 by Donald Schiemann

On someone's advice, I purchased these papers for B&W printing: 
Condor BW, Epson Velvet Fine Art, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag.  I find no 
curves on QuadToneRIP 2.2a for these papers.  Can one use one of the 
provided curves? if so, which?  Or are there curves for these papers 
that can be inserted into QTRIP?  (Win XP 2200 UC)

I recently asked the question "what paper do the CBright curves 
refer to" and the answer turned out to be Condor Bright White.  I'm 
certain that "HPhotoRag" is for Hahnemuhle Photo Rag.  These curves 
show up for the 4000.  Take another look at the curves and make sure 
you installed your printer correctly in QTR.

I'm hoping Donald gets another answer. I have the same question. The only
way to install the printer correctly is to choose it when you run the
isntallation program.

As far as I can see there is very limited support for papers other than
Epson Enhanced Matte with the 2100/2200. None of the other usual ones
(Hahnemühle is the one I'm missing).

As I mentioned here a couple of weeks ago:
Searching back through the archives I found the link to the site where I 
found the HPR "profile" for QTR on the 2200.

See this message from Carl Schofield back in October: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/message/49876
which has a link to his site at 
http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=scho&templatefn=FileSharing2.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.2.xml&sitefn=RootSite.xml&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
where you can find quad2200.zip.

Thanks Walt.  Now how do I get those curves to show in the 
QuadToneRIP menu?  I installed the Curve Creator and tried that, but 
got this message after selecting one of the .quad curve files: "Error 
loading Ink Description O."  Appreciate your guidance.

You simply put them in the same directory where you have the rest of the 
.quad files for your printer.  In my case, that's in
\Program Files\QuadToneRIP\QuadTone\Quad2200

The .quad files are not ink descriptor files.  They are "compiled" 
curve files for printing.  I don't know what the folder hierarchy is on 
the PC, but they should be placed in the same folder with your other 
.quad files.

The error reported is from an ink description file with something wrong in it.
In this case, the "O" which is not a valid item in a QIDF file. 

If the file you have is a .QUAD file, then it is already a curve and as Walt
said, just put in the folder with the rest of the QUAD files. If it is a QIDF,
then it needs to be "compiled" by the curve generator. Since you are getting an
error, there is something amiss with the file.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
