Re: [QuadtoneRIP] New user, trouble installing preset curves

2015-07-06 by Keith Schreiber

Hi Calvin,

You say you “clicked on the folder …”. Did you also run the installation file named Install3880.command? 

Where are you looking for the curves? They are not the same as icc profiles and do not appear in the Printer Profile list under Color Management. Rather, click on Print Settings then select QuadToneRIP in the dropdown menu below Paper Size. You should then see fields for selecting up to 3 curves. This is where the QTR curves (profiles) are listed.

I can’t speak from experience regarding your particular paper choice since I don’t use either, but it is often possible to get excellent results using one of the supplied profiles for a similar paper. Even if they are not perfect they will be a good starting point for creating custom profiles.

BTW - the terms profile and curve are synonymous in QTR.

Regards, 
Keith

I then clicked on the folder to install some of the preset curves for the 3880, but when I go to try and print using either photoshop or print tool, I can't seem to find the profiles. All that comes up for quadtone I think is gray matte and glossy. any help??
