Digital BW, The Print

Thats what I need. I have managed to install the Rip and it prints. But now I cannot for 
the life of me install the 2200 curves that are included with the latest edition. Does 
anybody know of a step by step guide? If it's available can you point me in the right 
direction?

Thanks,

Barry

Barry,

There is a read-me file in the 2200 profiles folder that describes how 
to install the profiles and the printing workflow.  Here is an excerpt 
from the read-me:
Installing the Profiles:

If your QuadToneRIP printer is NOT named "QUAD2200" you must edit the 
profile descriptor files to change the printer name to whatever name 
you have used to identify your printer before installing them with the 
Run-Quad-Profile script.  The line to edit is highlighted in red below:
-------------------------------------------------
#
#  quadtone curve descriptor file
#
#
# the printer name
# the curve name
#   no spaces or special characters, except - or _  (dash or underscore)
#
PRINTER=QUAD2200
CURVE_NAME=BES_2200-warm
CALIBRATION=NO
GRAPH_CURVE=YES
-------------------------------------------------------------
After changing the printer name, if necessary, in each profile 
descriptor file simply drag and drop each of the profile descriptor 
files you wish to use on the Run-Quad-Profile script to install (Double 
click the script file and then drag and drop the profile descriptor 
file when asked).  The profiles will be installed and should appear in 
the CurveDropBox folder.

Carl, 
Thanks for the info. I seem to have figured out how to install the curves. I have them 
now available in the print options. I can get the RIP to print if I don't use the curves, if 
I attempt to select one then the print just hangs. I might have installed some other 
file by mistake. Maybe I should start over!

Dummies Guide? the MAC manual <vbg>.

don't mind me...just my very first case of mac envy...

I think I'll take one of my old pc's and install some flavor of LINUX 
the next time I have some time off...if this thing is ok with linux, 
I can have a dual system and just use the linux for a printer drone.

cheers,

tom

Barry,

I just installed QuadTone Beta.8 this week end on my Mac with OS X (ver 
10.2.6). Every time i dropped the Cool / Warm Profilee txt files on the 
Terminal window opened by the install profile script, I only wound up 
with the profile txt file in the Curves Drop Box and the curves did not 
appear in the pinter set up window.  If you read the comments about the 
latest Beta they note you may be asked for your admin password.  I was 
never asked for my password.

I solved this problem by opening a terminal window and then logging in 
with my admin password.  I left that terminal window open and then 
dropped the profile txt files on to the new terminal window opened by 
the profile script,  hit the enter key and the curves installed.  
You'll know if this works because after you hit the enter key you will 
see the curve being written as it scrolls through the terminal window.  
I did this for both cool and warm profiles.  When I then went to print 
the cool/warm curves showed up as they should.  Tonight I just printed 
, a 100% cool, a 100% warm and finally a 85/15 cool/warm.  The 85/15 
was just about spot on to my taste.

By the way the notes say that after you run the install profiles script 
you do not have to run the install curves script.  I found this to be 
true.

As to the password quirk, I would have thought, that as I long as I 
long in as a single user with admin authority, terminal would know 
that.  Apparently it does not.  I also may have some problems in that a 
sometimes I get a terminal message that termcap or terminfo can not be 
found.  Another problem for another day.

Anyway this is what worked for me.  Hope it helps

And Kudos to Roy Harrington and Carl Schofield for a great program and 
support.

Hi Tom,

The port of QUAD2 to linux is rather less less than trivial. I have tried to
get the bloody thing working with two versions of linux (Red Hat and SuSE)
and though the installation seemed to go as it ought I have not been able to
get it to print in quad mode.

Consider that you can get a beige mac on ebay for right around a hundred
bucks, install a USB card for less than 40 and get an operating system up
and going for another 50 you would have a machine in which QUAD should load
with few problems or you could get a free copy of OPM and use that. Being a
stubborn old fart I am going to continue to beat on my linux box but I have
an ebay all in one beige mac on its way to hedge my bets. If I can get one
or both of these to do their thing then I will probably invest in a 2200.
Until then Piezo and my trusty 860 are going to have to do the job.

Roger

I got my installation of QTR2 on RedHat8 working last weekend.

Try sharing it to windows with Samba and print from there. For some
reason I just can't get it to print from Linux itself, but as soon as I
use Windows to do it everything works fine.

Maybe this means virgin empties aren't that far away? According to MIS
the cartridges are refillable.

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
