Help with adding a curve to a profile...
2016-05-02 by john@...
Hi,
I have created profile for digital negatives using an all grey inkset. The profile installs and runs perfectly until I try to add a curve. I get the following error.
Curve specified “0;0 2;5 5;12 10;21 20;40 30;57 40;69 50;77 60;81 70;84 80;87 90;92 95;95 97;97 100;100” but no valid data found at /Library/Printers/QTR/bin/quadprofile line 41.
The profile is below. perhaps I am not using the right variable or syntax. In the past I had always used Curve_K and then Copy_Curve commands to apply the curve to all of the inks.
Here I am using the following aping what I have seen in other profiles.
GRAY_CURVE=“0;0 2;5 5;12 10;21 20;40 30;57 40;69 50;77 60;81 70;84 80;87 90;92 95;95 97;97 100;100”
Here is my complete profile:
#PRINTER=Quad3880
