Re: Trouble with QuadTone RIP dialog box PROBLEM RESOLVED!

2009-02-03 by Randy Rancier

I believe I solved my own problem by some trouble shooting.  I'm going to leave this 
message posted in case someone else has, has had or will have this same problem.

To make a long story short, I determined that when you install you curve files, the name 
you give them can't be too long or it will screw up your whole QTR printing system or 
workflow up.  SOLUTION: if you ever run into this problem is to shorten the offending file 
name, delete the offending xxx.quad file, and then simply reinstall your profiles by double 
clicking on the Installxxx.command file your profile/curve folder with your txt files.  After 
this your QTR drivers will work properly again.
