Re: [QuadtoneRIP] What to look for in the Inkseperation.psd

2009-07-21 by Terry Ritz

Inkseperation.psd is used when you make your own QTR custom profiles. The
instructions for working with this file are included in the download
package.

Jon Cone of course, also provides QTR profiles for K7 inks for a variety of
papers.
