QTR calibration stopped working with latest OS X update; work around?

2013-06-07 by Vincent Wan

After the latest OS X update 10.8.4 QTR in calibration mode prints separation file in calibration mode strangely: K, C print but with odd densities, M stops printing at 50, LC at 5, Y at 20 and LM not at all.

Deleted printer, QTR in lib/, and app/ and restarted. Reinstalled QTR and printer and the problem persists.

Any advice?

For now I am assuming that files like the one below (from Paul Roark) let me print an untagged grayscale file as if I was using calibration mode. Am I right?

PRINTER=Quad1400-Eb
CURVE_NAME=K-0-100
GRAPH_CURVE=YES

N_OF_INKS=6

DEFAULT_INK_LIMIT=100
BOOST_K=
LIMIT_K=
LIMIT_C=
LIMIT_M=
LIMIT_Y=
LIMIT_LC=
LIMIT_LM=

N_OF_GRAY_PARTS=0
GRAY_HIGHLIGHT=0
GRAY_SHADOW=0
GRAY_OVERLAP=
GRAY_GAMMA=1
GRAY_CURVE=

N_OF_TONER_PARTS=0
TONER_HIGHLIGHT=10
TONER_SHADOW=10
TONER_GAMMA=1
TONER_CURVE=

N_OF_TONER_2_PARTS=0
TONER_2_HIGHLIGHT=10
TONER_2_SHADOW=10
TONER_2_GAMMA=1
TONER_2_CURVE=

N_OF_UNUSED=5
UNUSED_INK_1=C
UNUSED_INK_2=M
UNUSED_INK_3=Y
UNUSED_INK_4=LC

Thank you,

Vincent
