QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Josh,

Sorry to assume you hadn't.  I don't think you're doing anything  
wrong. I forgot that I had the same thing occur when I was using the  
beta version at first (exact same problem). I had meant to mention it  
on the forum and see if anyone else had experienced the same bug, but  
managed to forget to.

Rather than producing a calibration file, when you drop the file, the  
script is producing a final curve, resulting in your ink separation  
print showing how the inks are actually used by that curve. When I  
had that problem, I uninstalled the beta version, and installed the  
stable release. That did the trick, and I was able to produce  
calibration files. But, when I wanted to produce some new curves with  
the COPY_CURVE variable, I tried reinstalling the beta and now it's  
working. Don't know why? Anyway, regardless of the version you're  
using, you might want to back up your descriptor files and any  
modified curves and remove, then reinstall QTR.

That might take care of it. If not, maybe you could paste the code  
from the descriptor file you're working on into an email so I could  
look it over. However, if you're following Carl's instructions, I'm  
pretty sure there's no problem on your part. And, if it turns out  
that that is the case, I'd contact Roy as it would then most likely  
be an issue with the software.
