QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Eric,

It was good talking on the phone.  In case you still need the instructions for printing targets through QTR Print Tool, they are as follows:

Choose your printer - quad3800

Set color management to 'no color management'

Check 16 bit, out of habit

load the target - Macintosh HD/Applications/QuadToneRIP/Eye-One/Step-51-Gray.tff

click print. this will bring up the print dialog, make sure quad3800 is set as your printer, expand the window for more options so you can switch from layout to quadtone rip

Mode: QuadTone RIP 16 Bit

Curve 1: UCpk-raw-neutral (or warm or warmer if you want the prints toned)
leave curve 2 and 3 on none

resolution: 2880
speed: uni-directional

click print to send the print to the printer.

Like I said, be sure to use a sturdy box and placing it in an archival plastic sleeve would be a good idea as well.  This will protect the surface from scratching and the paper in general from the gorillas at the USPS.

Send me a message when you've shipped.  If I get the paper by Friday, then I'll be able to scan in the target and send you the curve the same day.

Cheers,
Nick

Actually, I'll need instructions as well since I'm not clear on things like what color space, whether to set it for application managed or no color management and which intent to use. I assume I print with the Quad3800 printer I've installed.

I would love to use QTR with Canson Platine Fiber Rag as well but there are no profiles for it. I tried the Museo one, it seems to be the closest paper, luster, photo black ink, but it was not quite right.
