Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Has anyone had luck making profiles with the Spyder Print Studio 4 system?

FWIW, this is how I use the previous model:

I open the text file in Excel to look at the data before dropping it into
QTR or Create ICC-RGB.  I simply copy the data from the Excel sheet and
paste it into a Notepad file saved to the Desktop with the name I want to
use.  These drop straight into Create ICC-RGB without problems.
