Printing 8 ink sep with El Capitan

Printing 8 ink sep with El Capitan

2016-02-07 by patrick.t@...

Hello,

Can someone give me a step by step on how to successfully print the 8 ink separation file on a mac with OS El Cap? Here's what I'm doing now -

I don't color manage the image
I let PS handle the color management and choose QTR-RGB Lab as the profile
Calibration mode in QTR

Am I missing something?

Much thanks,

Patrick

Seriously. PrintTool is kind’of a must-have at this point for anyone doing good digital printmaking (color or non). All should get it. Adobe and Apple should certify it. It has become defacto for anyone who’s gotten exposed to its usefulness on a regular basis.

You're missing that you need to use Print Tool on a Mac these days. It's another $50 screaming bargain from Roy.


Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
