QTR-Quadtone RIP

My apologies, but when I said any .qidf curve file- I literally meant *ANY* file.

I'm using the Epson R280-MIS.  I specifically had interest in the MK-Red-River-Polar-BO.qidf file as I have that paper.  When I load it and press 'show curve' I get an error.

I reinstalled QTR and the curve creation tools so I know they're fresh/clean and haven't been tampered with.

I haven't even gotten to the point of editing the curves for ink lay down as I can't even graph the default ones.

Thanks in advance-

Jason
