Re: [QuadtoneRIP] linearization procedure/questions - K6 7500

2007-09-23 by Roy Harrington

The printer would be Quad7500-K6 not just Quad7500.  You can just drag the
whole 7500-K6 folder from the download to your disk and then use this folder
and Install7500-K6.  This script "knows" the printer name by virtue of the
script name.

Make sure you print the stepwedge with a profile without a LINEARIZE line.
Then the measured linearize values are added to the profile.  Note the "Raw"
profiles in the folder -- you can use these are starting points.
