Hey all, has anyone updated to High Sierra and printed with QTR? Compatible? I will put a test comp in next week if no. All the best, Walker

Following up on this to see if anyone has had problems after upgrading to High Sierra aka Mac OS 10.13.
Thanks,

Cort, I'm running 10.11 and it works fine. Don't know about 10.12 or 10.13? The overview on the QTR site only specifies up to 10.11 "Mac: Snow Leopard 10.6, Lion 10.7, Mountain Lion 10.8, Mavericks 10.9, Yosemite 10.10 or El Capitan 10.11" Doug On Nov 4, 2017, at 2:27 PM, stats@...m [QuadtoneRIP] <QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Following up on this to see if anyone has had problems after upgrading to High Sierra aka Mac OS 10.13.

There may be an issue with Calibration Mode printing on high Sierra. I have not upgraded my R&D machine for testing. Will do after Black Friday work. See thread for photos and screenshots. https://community.inkjetmall.com/t/funky-output-on-qtr-ink-pattern-separation-page/4754 <https://community.inkjetmall.com/t/funky-output-on-qtr-ink-pattern-separation-page/4754> Best, Walker

I've just installed a High Sierra partition and started testing.
I had no issue installing QTR driver 2.7.7 or Print-Tool 2.1.1.
QTR driver Calibration Mode works just fine from Print-Tool. The "funky-output" shown is
the classic look of bad data sent to QTR driver -- usually because of color management.
Get a fresh copy of the inkseparation file and print it with No Color Management in Print-Tool.
Photoshop cannot be used for this in a reliable workflow.

I have macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 (running here under VMWare on my Windows 10 system) with QTR 2.7.7 (latest), Print Tool 2.1.1 (latest) and Piezography Pro Community Edition 1.94 (latest). Everything works fine, including Calibration Mode. My printer is a 7900 connected via my network.
I am normally a Windows user of QTR and Piezography Pro inks, but I've recently setup this macOS VM to (among other things) investigate the different file resolution handling in QTR on Windows and macOS platforms, and also to have a chance to look at the new mac-only data tool which Roy posted.
Regarding the "funky output" mentioned in the referenced thread at InkjetMall forum: I can offer that in my first attempt at installing my custom Quad7900 printer on the macOS system, I ran into some interesting permissions problems on my Piezography Pro quad files. I had copied these over from my working QTR on Windows environment and put them in my own named folder under the Piezography Curves folder on the mac, but after installing the printer on macOS and running my first test print with Print Tool, it was extremely dark, similar to the "funky output" as mentioned. I then noticed that the macOS print queue window was complaining that access to the quad files was "denied" with no access. After some investigation, I was able to correct the quad file permissions and ownership settings on the mac using Terminal and command-line tools. A full uninstall and then re-install of the printer resolved everything at this point. So my key observation (FWIW) is that permission problems on quad files can cause very "funky" output with QTR.
