Carl, 

Your post was in response to Michael Tiktinsky's but appeared to
address my problem.  If I recall correctly, you use a Mac while I am
using a PC with Win XP Pro Service packs 1 and 2.  I don't know if
this is significant.


I have printed out a grayscale TIF using QTR and the process described
by W Schwolgin in
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/files/Tools/ .  He has
a text document file to insert patches in Colorport v1.5.4's create
target.

In the Measure Target area I have ticked the "ignore TID" box. 
However, when I scan the scanned QTR TIF file I get the error message
"An error occurred while reading a strip of patches.  Try reading the
strip again (error 22).

I have tried also using the TIF file overlain over the colour TID
("ignore TID" unticked), but get the error message "Mismatched data
Clear the Pulse and remeasure".

I should appreciate any help you, or anyone else using WinXp can give.

Colin
