Re: 2MK+2PK+ approach?

2007-12-12 by ex0cute

Carl, Thank you for your help setting up the 3-PK ink approach. I 
have created a curve from you text profile for Red River Ultrapro 
Satin as a .qidf file. I also loaded the .quad file in the quad sub-
folder in quadtone RIP . However, can you explain what the .quad 
file does ? I want to change the ink position in some of Paul 
Rourk's 3-MK profiles so I can print both matt and gloss prints on 
my R1800, but I would like to know if I need to change the quad file 
in addition to updating the .qidf file.
