Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR print tool for Windows?

2013-11-11 by Mike Finley

My apologies Ray - yes it definitely does work with the 8 ink printers (I've been using it with the 3880 for several years) - it was the 10 ink printers I had in mind! Thanks for all you've done for monochrome printers - I've been using QTR on PC since the first hack that allowed it to be used from Linux!

For the most part all of you are right.

On Windows there is just one product -- QTR -- B&W printing from QTRgui layout to
the Epson printer. It's all one piece and can't be separated. There is No Color Mngt at all.
There is an issue about maintaining the QTRgui frontend -- I didn't write it so I have no
way to change anything. It works with no trouble on Windows XP & 7 as far as I know.
It fully supports all the 8 ink printers. Its the 10 ink printers that have limited support.
Printing works fine with them, but Curve Creation can't access the other 2 inks. If you
get 10 ink curves from someone else, the printing works just fine with all 10 inks.
The driver internals and actually the Curve create internals have all 10 inks. If you edit
the .qidf with NotePad and drop them onto quadprofile.exe you can create 10 ink curves
but yes its different and a bit more hassle. I'm trying to figure out a way to continue
to fully maintain a product on Windows but so far its not clear how to accomplish this.
The virtualization idea is a good idea, in fact that's how I've done a lot of the Windows
work for years on my Mac.
