QTR-Quadtone RIP

I just got the MIS Ut7 inkset for a 9600. I'm having some difficulty getting it going with QTR. 
The prints are real dark. I am trying to use Epson Semigloss paper at 1440. Neither Semigloss 
or 1440 show up in the curves within QTR. 

I've also tried Innova F-Gloss with the same result.

In the Print With Preview (Mac) I've tried selecting Abobe RGB as well as QTR - Gray Photo 
Paper.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steve Daniel

Steve,

The problem is that there are no curves at all for that printer/ink 
combination.
Without curves QTR has absolutely no idea what ink is loaded into the 
printer so
you get the "dark prints".

Making curves would require a good measuring device and some work.  
There
is a way however to get a bit of a preview and start.   There are 
curves for the UT7
inkset for the 2200, they won't be perfect but worth a try.

Drag the 2100-2200-UT7 folder from the download in Profiles to a place 
on your
disk drive (Desktop is good).  You'll see an "Install2200-UT7"  in the 
folder, rename
it to Install9600-UT7 i.e. just change the printer model number in the 
filename.
Now you can run it (double-click) to set up a Quad9600-UT7 printer and 
the curves/profiles.
The main issue is that the ink limits are a bit high for a 9600 so when 
you print look for
the Advanced Adjustments, turn them on and set Ink Limits to about -30. 
   Feel free to
experiment with this value.

I'm not sure how well this will work but I think it'll get you close.
