[Digital BW] Re: Quadtone Rip Dummies guide?

2003-08-13 by flyfishingusa2002

To Carl and all the other that helped....Thanks.

Late last night I produced my first couple of prints using Quadtone RIP and my Epson 
2200, the results have been worth all of the effort, not to mention the purchase of a 
Dual 867 Mac system. I still will be using my PC, but not for much I can tell you. 

My problem was that the installation instruction tell you to drag the . quad files to the 
Run Quad terminal window. Maybe be it's just me, but I found you need to drag the 
files .txt and run those. This window generates the .quad files and puts them in the 
Curve Drop Box (Folder) you then run "Run -install-curves.

However I can only get the Hpr curves to work, but these seem fine for EEM, could it 
be that there is a error with the other "canned" profiles?

Never mind, I'm up and running with at least one set of curves and very pleased, now 
to sort out Adobe who want to charge me $149 to change from a PC to a  Mac. Just 
for a new serial number. I'll wait to purchase version 8 which is not o far away.

Thanks again to all,

Barry
