New to QTR and need help

2005-04-25 by NiteFrog

Ok,

I am on a PC and I just DL the newest version.  When I went to the
turtorial to read how to create a profile for the paper I am using and
ink ( Epson Luster and UC inks ) the PDF file does not have all the
info in it and cuts out at page 17 but the header list the appendix
and etc up to page 32 that explains all the settings for the file you
configure and what each items means.  At leat I assume.  

Where can I find a complete document.  

Also when I try to create the profile it lays out so much ink it is
crazy, just gobs of it on the paper.  I have never had this problem
before.  Please advise.

The LINEARIZE was created using a densitometer.  If anyone can help
that woudl be awesome.  The 21 step wedge with this is comignout
magenta big time.

Before I set yellow to 0 it was horrible adn again globs of ink on the
paper.

I also have no idea what this means either as the documentation does
not explain it so I jsut put in some numbers that the doc say it was
neutral,

GRAY_HIGHLIGHT=4
GRAY_SHADOW=8
#GRAY_OVERLAP=10

Here is my file;
