Where are these located?

2016-08-16 by Mark Savoia

Reading the QTR documentation it mentions a few files I can not find.

>Quad Curve Descriptor File

The first type of file is the actually curve descriptor file that get installed in the printer drivers.  These files have a complete mapping of how much of each separate ink is used for each possible grayscale value.  They are in special folders in the system. 

Where are these special folders? I know there are examples in the ExampleInks folder, but where are the ones being used?

The CurveDropBox contains a folder for each printer on your system that has QuadTone capabilities. The curve descriptors for a particular printer are within the respective folder.  All have names ending in ".quad" and are called Quad Curve Files.  For those interested in the internal workings, the Curve-Info file has a detailed explanation of these files

Where is the Curve-Info file?

Thanks,
