You need to do your editing to change ink positions in the.qidf files  
and then re-load the .qidf file which will automatically create a  
new .quad file which is used by QTR for printing.  I use a Mac so  
can't advise on how you load the .qidf files on a PC, but on the Mac  
you just put the .qidf files in a folder with the appropriate printer  
script and then run the script to load all of the .qidf files.
