QTR-Quadtone RIP

You've been following the Mac instructions ... they don't work for PCs!

When you installed QTR, you should also have automatically installed a 
second application called qtrgui - you do all printing through it, 
including calibration. I guess thats what you mean by printing directly 
from QuadTone RIP - and thats the only way to do it. Qtrgui also has all 
the calibration stuff built into it (in the tools menus) - though how it 
matches with prining with silver I don't know ... I don't know how much 
modified the process is to cater for that.
