QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Paul,
Are you on Mac or PC?
I'm on Mac and had the same problem a few days ago (QTR profiles not showing in the QTR Gui).
The problem was solved changing the access and sharing parameters of the quad folder:
Go to Library/Printers/QTR/quadtone, there you select your printer from the list and ctrl+click to get to the advanced options drop down menu, select 'get info', at the bottom of new options window, change the access parameters to 'Read+Write'. Then run the install script within QTR again and they should show up.
I can't be of any help regarding the softproofing, as I create my own softproof profiles with a spectrophotometer.

Let me know if it worked.

Sidney
