QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Scott,

I can help you with the .quad files.  The error in the .quad file is
the extra double-quote "
at the end of the first line --- see the " at the end of the error line.
It's easy to fix, just open the .quad file in TextEdit and look at line 1
it should be:
## QuadToneRIP K,C,M,Y,LC,LM,LK,LLK
without any quotes in it.
Save the .quads and rerun the script -- (if you are using version
2.6.1 you need to
drag a new install script from /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/InstallScripts
rename it to the correct name if needed.

That should get the profiles loaded correctly.  What inks go where I don't know.
