QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello,

I am new in this group.

I try to use an Epson 1400 printer to make prints with piezo black ink only. I am looking to try with one ink to render particular and the economy.

I try to creamy first curve for : 1400 / HahnRagMat / BlackMatNeutralInk

I encounter some problems to create the curve.

I can not go through with the establishment of the curve, QTR the following message "Creating curve-K6-1400 HahnPhotoRag-BO

Invalid linearize curve - not Constantly increasing "

Here are the details :

Hardware :

Macbookpro 2011 with mac osx 10.10.2

Epson stylus photo 1400 / Matte Black Ink Neutral No. 1

Probe color Munki Photo

Calibrated screen (100cd brightness)

Steps :

1. Installation of QTR

2. Installation of the driver using "Install1400-K6.command".

3. Printing ink limit of qualibration file using Print-tool ("no color management" in Print-tool, select the printer 1400-K6, then mode "quadtone RIP calibration" and options " Sheet feed, "" 2880dpi "and" bi-directional "I have not selected curves).

4. Definition of the ink limit after 24 hours (result "35")

5. Creating the text file for the curve "HahnPhotoRag-1400-BO" (see at the end of the message)

6. Installation of the curve using "Install1400-K6.command".

7. Print a test pattern of 21 steps using Print-tool ("no color management" in Print-tool, printer selection 1400-K6, then mode "quadtone RIP calibration" and options "Sheet feed "" 2880dpi "and" bi-directional ", with the curve" HahnPhotoRag-1400-BO ").

8. Measure 21 shades exporting data "1400-HahnPhotoRag-BO.csv"

9. Drag/drop "1400-HahnPhotoRag-BO.csv" in QTR-linearized-data ("1400-HahnPhotoRag-BO-out.txt »)

10. Copy of the LINEARIZE line in the file "1400-HahnPhotoRag-BO" (see at the end of the message)

11. Installation of the curve using "Install1400-K6.command".

MESSAGE: "Creating curve-K6-1400 HahnPhotoRag-BO

Invalid linearize curve - not Constantly increasing "

Could someone help me?

Thanks !
