QTR-Quadtone RIP

Sorry to start another thread, but the other one had a LightRoom specific aspect in it and it appears the problem is more general.

I have uploaded a TIF file that QTR GUI cannot use. Windows Preview opens it fine, PhotoShop opens it fine too.

This is link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9fx5811mi9dnn7d/UF_OaU1SEx

QTR GUI opens it in its preview window, but when I click the Print button, I get the following messages:

QuadToPrinter: ERROR: No pages found
ImageToRaster: ERROR: Unable to open image file for printing!

QTR GUI is definitely problematic with its file incompatibilities.

I use version 2.7.0.0 as bundled with QTR 2.7.2 for Windows.

No problem opening and printing your file with the Mac version...
So perhaps only a PC version issue.

BTW, your image seems to be in a color softproof profile, why is that?
I always send to QTR in greyscale.

Just fired up my old PC with the same QTR version you are using.

Infact your file opens with the same error you had mentioned...

I then converted your profile to greyscale and voilà, it prints, on PC.

I think this tiff file has one of the unsupported compression modes used.
Just reading the file into Photoshop and rewriting it with no compression works.

Thanks Sidney and Roy for thetime you are putting in this.

The file is outputted according to the profile. The actual values are changed. If you open it as such in PhotoShop it will be all wrong because Photoshop will apply the profile on values that already take the profile into account. I produce the file that way to have very good matching between screen and print and it works.

Roy, the file uncompressed as such. I athink what happened is that by rewriting it in Photoshop you produced the skight variation of tif that QTR understand. More specifically, Photoshop puts much more tags in the file than the conversion utility I use. I have sent an email to their support about those missing tags.

Cheers
