QTR-Quadtone RIP

Necessitated by the introduction of Photoshop CS6 (shortly) which will not allow the technique of matching a document profile to a printer profile, in order to pass the data thru unaltered.

Specifically, this affects Piezography.

I thought that setting the PS print dialog to "printer manages color" would work, since that sends the data thru unaltered, but such is apparently treated differently in QTR than an image with a profile attached.

I tried several prints that way (printer manages...) and the issue is that the Piezography curves are not used by QTR when the file is sent that way... and so regardless of the "curve/profile" selected in QTR, the image is unaltered. 

I assume (as a retired programmer) that you're probably running a check at some point to see if the incoming data has a profile, and if not, routing around the code that invokes the QTR curves.

So, if that's approximately correct, my request is this: a preference that can toggle that routing on or off.  That is, if "printer manages color" is set in the Photoshop CS6 print dialog, and QTR gets that file, I'd like QTR to -apply- the selected curve, instead of ignoring it.

That way, when CS6 comes out, people can still print using Piezography. As it stands right now, Piezo printing to QTR is not possible in CS6. The folks at Adobe are not willing to do anything about it, so that leave it to you and Jon, as far as I can tell.
