Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR mini tutorial on curves - using a Mac

2005-09-14 by Eric Ashworth

Hi Josh,

Looks like you're not creating a calibration curve. I did the same  
thing for the first couple days, when I started. In the descriptor  
file make sure to set the variable/value CALIBRATION=NO to  
CALIBRATION=YES. That should take care of it and the script should  
create your curve with -calib attached to the curve name. Once you're  
ready to create the working profile, just set the value back to no.  
If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Eric
