QTR-Quadtone RIP

Quadtone RIP will not remember my settings. I have a 2013 Mac Pro (trashcan) and a 1TB SSD and 64GB of RAM. That should be reasonably powerful.

I’ve been using QTR for years, have paid for it and absolutely love it, but it can be frustrating.

When printing with QTR I set the paper size, split toning, and paper feed and ask it to save. When I then go to print, it appears to have forgotten all of these settings. I must then re-enter them and click on print.

Do you have any suggestions?

This is more annoying than serious I know but would like some help if you can.

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I reviewed what you wrote and can tell you that I use presets for each of the few papers I use and each is set up for only the Quad 3880 printer. I just tried it again and it continues to behave in the same fashion. I even reinstalled QTR yesterday. Sorry if this is repetitive but I want to be clear.
I go to the print dialog in Photoshop CC, choose Quad3880 and go to printer settings. In that dialog I set the paper size, e.g. letter (it seems to default to tabloid), go to layout and choose quadtone rip. There I click split tone and select manual rear for paper feed. I then click “save.” I then click print in the Photoshop dialog and up pops the “print” dialog and all the settings I just saved have reverted to presumed defaults. I’ve dealt with this for a while and can certainly continue but find it frustrating and recently decided to seek some help.
Any thoughts are welcome and I much appreciate this forum.
Eric
