QTR-Quadtone RIP

Brian,

I use a house-built profiling application to make those 256 point
curves rather than use the QTR tools. At the end I compile them in
such a way that QTR can use the data. But I never have anything that
remotely resembles the .qdif file. I can't even make one. Its a
different process altogether.

I can make custom QTR profiles for a fee ($99), but the ones I provide
in QTR are usually very accurate on nearly every printer. If you think
your printer is not producing the best standard, I would remind you to
NOT follow the QTR workflow of the QTR manual that accompanies the
download. We have a totally different workflow documented in our own
manual, because the K7 profiles are not compatible with a conventional
QTR curve. Using workflow designed for QTR made curves will not work
with Piezography made K7 curves for QTR. I hope that makes sense.

The changes you may need to make to your workflow would not be major,
but could be significant if you are not doing them now.  You can
download my Mac and a PC manual here:

If you think you need a profile for your individual printer, please
contact me off list.
