QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi,

Please, could someone guide me a bit how to get the 3880 working with QTR? I hear there is a workaround possible, however I have absolutely no previous experience with QTR, RIP nor professional printing, so the QTR documentation is my only lead.

I am able to measure the target with my Spyder3, but I have absolutely no clue how to install the custom curve…? All my erratic attempts and experiments and with the message from the install script telling me that QTR does not support 3880 printer...

I would more than appreciate a quick list of how to proceed.

Thanks a lot,

Jakub

More on my topic:

I am able to create a custom ICC profile using the QTR-Create-ICC-RGB.app on Snow Leopard.

After measuring the 21 step wedge using Spyder3, I get the output file with the LINEARIZE= line in it. I have copied a raw neutral curve to a new one and appended the LINEARIZE= line I got from Spyder3print.

Now when I run the Install3800.command, the script waits for the 3800 printer connected to USB, however I have the 3880  connected. When I rename the command to Install3880.command, it says "ALERT! **** QuadToneRIP does not support printer 3880 ****".

How can I workaround this? I read it's possible, however I don't understand how to do it..

Thank you for any help,

Best regards,

Jakub Vosahlo

I purchased a 3880 a couple months ago and had a similar problem getting QTR to recognize the printer.  I contacted Roy Harrington and he pointed me in the right direction:  "I did some checking with the 3880 and it appears to be compatible with the 3800.
I assume you are on a Mac.   To use the 3800 driver you just need to
pretend the printer is a 3800.   Look at  Tutorial.pdf on the last page -- it's labelled
Bonjour but the same idea works for what you want.  Create a printer named Quad3800 using QuadToneRIP 2.6 3800 but connected to your 3880.   Then you can run:
/Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/3800-UC/Install3800.command"

This worked for me.  I'm on a Mac with Snow Leopard.

Gary,

Thank you a lot. Actually roughly at the same time you posted the advice I have tried to connect the printer to my home network and was able to run the command. Now I can use the system fully, thanks a lot for posting me with the helpful advice!
