According to the Piezography website, as well as John Cone's message to this group, complimentary K7 profiles have been created for the 2200. These profiles/curves work with QTR. Will these profiles be downloadable with QTR, or perhaps as a separate K7 curves folder from the QTR website, or will they be downloadable from the Piezography website? Chris Hargens

I just received some new profiles and until new full package is done I've put the profiles as a separate zip file that you can download and install. See the 2.3 beta download page: http://homepage.mac.com/royharrington/FileSharing3.html The download is a .zip file that is good on either Mac or PC. Unzip the file and place the .quad files into: Mac: CurveDesign/CurveDropBox/Quad2200 PC: Program Files\QuadToneRIP\quadtone\Quad2200 On the Mac also run "Run-Install-Curves" Roy

I was able to get them to the right folder (Windows) and can load them as curves in the main QTRgui window, but can't see them in CurveCreation. Is there another step to installing them as viewable/editabl curves in a Windows system? Thanks, Bob

You should be able to view the actual curves however in QTRgui by right clicking on the curve. There is one curve that I did K7-Photo-Rag that does have the .qidf file. (This is in the 2.3 version not previous versions). Use this as a model if you want to make your own. Roy

I see the .quad file under 2200 Quadtones, but not the editable version. Also, it was not in the original unzipped files from your download site. Am I missing it somewhere? (I am using 2.3) Thanks, Bob

This worked fine. Only problem was there are some nonmonotonicly decreasing numbers in the linearizing sequence, but I'll need to read those for my paper any way.

That LINEARIZE is all one line. Check the value 41.99 this may have been chopped in two. This would give that error. Roy
