RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Getting from .qidf to .quad

If you loaded a curve from the QuadR1800 as a basis, that is the printer
model you are working with. You need to do a save as to change that.

Hi Stephen,

I found it.  Thank you!

QTR did display the curve when I clicked Show Curve, but it saved the quad
file in the QuadR1800 folder instead of QuadR1800-3MK, which seems odd
because QTR already knows I'm working with the QuadR1800-3MK Printing Model.

Oh well, at least it works.  Next time I'll know to do a search for the
file.

Thanks again!

Ken
