HI all,
I posted a few days ago my problems when trying to create curves and print with QTRGui and my 4900 printer. Roy very kindly answer me back but I must say I could not figure out exactly what he meant... I have been trying to solve the problems myself but after 4 days, my problems still go on and so far I have not been able to print. So please forgive me to bother you again!
I have understood that QTRgui does not support 10 ink printers. So, I assumed that I could select a 3880 or 4880 model, and then open the curve creator tool. That is what I did, and from there I created the qidf file based on the printed inkcalibration.tiff file and step tablets I had made with the 4990 printer.
Now, what should I do? So far I have tried to save the qidf file in the folder corresponding to the 4990 printer. I did that, but the problem is that when I go to the printing window, choose the 4990 model printer and open the curves tabs to choose the qidf file, I cannot find it there. Not only that, if I go to the physical folder in my PC where the qidf files are, I cannot find it either. So it seems that when I save the curves from the curve creation window, the files do not go to the folder.
Another kind of problem related to this happened when I was using the 3880 printer that I also own. With that printer, I could create a set of qidf profiles that I successfully saved in the corresponding folder of the 3880 and that I could successfully choose from the printing window (curves). So I was thinking about going to the physical folder QTR<profiles<3880 and copy that qidf file to paste it on the 4990 folder. However, I could not find them there, only the canned supplied profiles are visible!
The last problem I have, which seems to me related to the other two, happen when I try to delete a curve. For the 3880 printer, I deleted a number of curves FROM THE CURVE CREATOR TOOL, that is, opening a file, and right clicking on any unwanted profile and then deleting them. That made the profiles disappear from the open menu of the curve creator tool, but , and this is the weird thing, they still are visible as curves available in the printing window - curve setup.
Is anybody out there who can help me? I am quite at a dead end with these problems...
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
