QTR-Quadtone RIP

Bruce,

I've tried to interpete what you say but frankly I don't understand. Are you following Tom Moore's manual? If not, please check it out.

If you do, I assume you've printed the separation page from the calibration mode. You're supposed to print that page on two different occaision. The first time with the Ink Calibration slider on 100 to determine the max ink load % (Not: "DMax"). The second time, with the IN Calibration slider set to the max ink load %, to determine the relative densities.

Where are you in the process? What have you done? What don't you understand? Please refer to the terminology as used by Tom.

Joost
