QTR-Quadtone RIP

My name is Scott.

I am trying to set up my Epson R2400 with Media Street GQ2 monochrome inks. I would like to see if anyone has any profiles for gloss or semi-gloss/luster papers.  I have had no luck getting the profiles (.quad files) from Media Street to load.  I keep getting the following error:

Inks mismatch: PPD has K,C,M,Y,LC,LM,LK,LLK and Quad has K,C,M,Y,LC,LM,LK,LLK"
    Curve GQ2-R2400-GChromeLustre-Cold

and they don't show up in the QuadTone RIP curve drop down in the print screen of CS3, only the "UC" curves show up.

System Specs.
Dual Quad Core Mac Pro (Intel processors)
Leopard OS X
QuadTone RIP is loaded and it works great with the color ink sets for both my 2200 and the R2400.

One other issue:  the GQ2 inks come with 2 gloss optimizers, and I am supposed to swap out the PK and MK depending on the paper (I usually use gloss).  I thought that the R2400 system would allow for both MK and PK to be installed at the same time.  I am confused!!!!!

Any help in these issues would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,

I can help you with the .quad files.  The error in the .quad file is
the extra double-quote "
at the end of the first line --- see the " at the end of the error line.
It's easy to fix, just open the .quad file in TextEdit and look at line 1
it should be:
## QuadToneRIP K,C,M,Y,LC,LM,LK,LLK
without any quotes in it.
Save the .quads and rerun the script -- (if you are using version
2.6.1 you need to
drag a new install script from /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/InstallScripts
rename it to the correct name if needed.

That should get the profiles loaded correctly.  What inks go where I don't know.
