Re: .quad File?

2005-09-24 by Roy Harrington

Hi Tom,

For just printing you need to put the .quad files into:
QuadToneRIP->Quadtone->Quad2200 
This is where the curves are found for the QTRgui pulldowns.  These are the
actual curves i.e. tables for exactly how the inks are used.

If you wanted to see how they were generated or want to modify them or
make some similar new ones you put the .qidf files into:
QuadToneRIP->Profiles->2200-ut7
You will need to read them into QTRgui > Curve Creation dialog page.

one (QIDF or QUAD) would I add to the QuadToneRIP->Profiles->2200-ut7 folder?  
Or do add both?

QuadToneRIP uses to map colors to inks. Take a look at the QUAD file. There is a list 
of numbers for each ink that represents the curve for the ink.
