QTR-Quadtone RIP

Mike,
Thanks for the the response.
I assume you understand the PC Curve Creation feature in QTR for Windows that allows one to easily view the ink curves and easily modify an exsisting ink profile.  It is very easy compared to what the Mac people need to do with the QIDF text file IMHO.

I downloaded some ink files from the forum (QUAD only) that look like they would be close for another paper use...and I want to view and "engineer" the ink settings before printing with QTR.

Thanks again, Terry
