software, I was prompted to select a printer. I have two connected so naturally I opted for 
the one on my system for B&W. This in itself caused a program error which persists - 
access code violation. I guessed this was due to the use of the & (ampersand?) in the 
printer name. I've since renamed it but the error persists in slightly different form.

fact that I would be creating a new Ink and Paper combo. I felt this was not a critical step 
so I chose K6.
> After your earlier reply the penny dropped slightly so I selected the inkseparation6.tiff 
from the bin folder. This is the correct ink set up for my printer. I loaded this into the RIP 
under the current printer Model but when I selected Calibration Mode several things 
happened: Firstly, after initiating the several .exes quadtoprinter; Rawprint etc, the 
program returned a simple error message: I/O error. Although it continued to print - the 
software simply defaulted to printing the calibration test sheet for the model loaded - in 
this case the K6 ink set - which as stated has eight ink channels. I don't think this is useful 
because even if I disregard the two unused channels, last night's print out shows just the 
black ink channel reaches its limit at 30%. This is not true for the other five inks.

I seem to be stuck with this erroneous first choice).

seem to be slightly less than completely user friendly. Trust me - I've read everything 
twice by now :0)
