QTR-Quadtone RIP

Cheers Carl,

thanks for the pointers and info; unfortunately I'm a PC user, but 
you're reply gave me an idea, and I think I have managed to do it.

I copied and pasted one of the .ppd files and renamed it, then I ran 
the curve creation tool and created a curve and saved the ink 
descriptor file .qidf to a new profile folder named accordingly (for 
my new inkset,) so then when I selected "create curve" a new 
corresponding QUAD file seemed to be produced and seems to work.

If anybody knows the correct way to produce a new "Printing Model" 
for us PC users it would be much appreciated,

Jamie.

I'm using a Mac and I just highlight the file name of the installer 
script in the finder and type the new name.  When you run the re-
named installer it will create a new Quad printer with the new name 
you used for the installer and if it is in a folder with curve files 
they will also be installed.  In the example, CSNK stands for carbon 
sepia and neutral K inksets, which just happens to be what I'm 
currently using in my 4000 in a dual quad configuration.

a little more organised.


I noticed in a message from Roy, and quote:

"One more thing: I separated the profiles for different inksets so
they are not all together.


The main organizational change is to add the ink type to the printer
names for the non-epson inks. So 2200 with NK7 inks will be Quad2200-
NK7. UT7 inks are under Quad2200-UT7 etc.


If you use the install scripts that I have you can do your own 
inksets easily by renaming the Install script.
So Install4000-CSNK would give you a Quad4000-CSNK printer.
