Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR forgets my settings when I print

2017-06-28 by Roy Harrington

I think there's a confusion of the different "Save" buttons.
Saving of the settings for QTR driver i.e. split-tones etc is a OSX Printer Preset function.
If you are in Photoshop under the Printer Settings... you select all the QTR driver
settings. But then the Save at bottom of page is just for saving settings for this particular
Print session. At the top (second down) there's a Preset: field and under that you
need to Save Current Settings as Preset... -- this is what you want to use.

Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I reviewed what you wrote and can tell you that I use presets for each of the few papers I use and each is set up for only the Quad 3880 printer. I just tried it again and it continues to behave in the same fashion. I even reinstalled QTR yesterday. Sorry if this is repetitive but I want to be clear.
I go to the print dialog in Photoshop CC, choose Quad3880 and go to printer settings. In that dialog I set the paper size, e.g. letter (it seems to default to tabloid), go to layout and choose quadtone rip. There I click split tone and select manual rear for paper feed. I then click “save.” I then click print in the Photoshop dialog and up pops the “print” dialog and all the settings I just saved have reverted to presumed defaults. I’ve dealt with this for a while and can certainly continue but find it frustrating and recently decided to seek some help.
Any thoughts are welcome and I much appreciate this forum.

This is usually done by choosing "last used settings" where you would see default or presets.


It is possible that the last used settings disappear when you rerun the install script to load or compile new qtr curves. If there is a group of settings you use often, you can very easily make a preset for those and choose "only this printer" so only the QUADxxxx printer will show that preset.

Hope that helps,
Richard Boutwell
