Re: [QuadtoneRIP] .quad on mac

Actually you can. 

For each ink you find 256 entries in the file. 0 means no ink. 65535 means 100%. So if you edit directly the file by changing the numbers, it will work. I have done that to get the mix on inks that allowed me to get paper white and put the values on the curve creation tool to get a new curve. I think it is of little usefullness to actually edit the file by yourself, but you can.
