QTR-Quadtone RIP

I Have a densitometer. Is this all I need to make profiles using 
Ultracrome and K3 Inks. I believe this is all I'd need to make the 
profile using only the black and gray inks, but what about the toned 
profiles. Do I need an Eye-one or PrintFixPro to do these. If not how 
do I go about incorporating the colored inks into the profiles. I've 
been using QTR with dedicated B&W inks. I need to know how to go about 
it with the color inks. Please clear this up  for me.

John,

I use an i1 spectro, but I think you will be fine with a densitometer.  Do the ink seperation 
and partitioning with the 3 blacks the same way you did it with your monotone inks.  From 
my experience, and from what I have seen on this forum, and in the misc. documentation 
- adding toners is very touchy feely.  Your going to have to eyeball what seems right to 
you.  It doesn't take much.

Good luck!

Josh

My main problem is my inability to load the profiles that are supposed to  be 
built in to the software.  There are three that are for the R800-K7, and  
when I load them they do not fill out the inks and I get an ink descriptor fill  
error.
