QTR-Quadtone RIP

The gibberish comes from selecting a printer model driver that is
incompatible with the
printer you are using.  I assume when you said "2880 printer name" you have
a new Epson R2880 printer.  If so, this printer is not yet supported
so you can't
have picked a matching printer driver.   However as it turns out the R2880
printer is very compatible with the R2400 printer that it replaces.  So you
might try use printer model QuadR2400.   The profiles ought to be a
bit different
since there are new inks but with the blending you make find decent results.
