Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Quad 7900 Printing Module

Dear Roy,

I take advantage first of all for thanking you for such a wonderful piece of software you have created. So far, I am really impressed with the results with the epson 3880 printer.

Concerning the 4900, I understand now the curve tool does not work. However, I am sorry about my ignorance, but I still do not understand everything you said...

So maybe you or anybody else here will be able to tell me if I am wrong:
For 10 ink printers, I can select from the QTRgui a printer "Name" which is the 4900, but I should select a "printing model" which is 4880. Then, QTRgui would allow me to open the curve tool, from there I should choose Quad4880 as printing model too, make the modifications and create a new ink descriptor file, and then save the resulting .qidf file inside of to the folder " Profile>4880-uc".

Then, In order to use that file to print from the 4990, am I right if I assume I should copy the .qidf file from the Profile>4880 folder to the Profile>4900? If yes, then for printing should I select the Quad4900 as printing model and then I would be able to choose the recently saved .qidf file from the curve setup menu? But that file is a .qidf file, not a .quad file? Why Ron spoke about the .quad files?

Another problem I see is that even if I can save the .qidf file into the folder Profile>4880-uc directly from the curve creator window, then if I go there from windows explorer to that very folder I cannot find the recently saved .qidf file... only those which came with the software? In fact, when I save the new file from the curve creator, the opposite also happens... only the newly saved .qidf files appear, not the ones which came canned. Why is all this happening?

As you can see, I seem to need some help ! Thanks in advance for your help,

Warm regards,

rafael
