QTR-Quadtone RIP

Since there are no profiles (curves) for the 3800k3 is there a 
possibility to use the 4800 k3 or the 2400 K3 profiles?
And if yes, how is this done.

Bert

Bert,
I have not tried this, so I can't vouch for this, but I saved it from 
a previous post on this board.  Hope it helps:

Either there are very few 3800 out there or no one uses B&W any 
more...
Well, since there seems to be no curves or profiles for the new 3800, 
I modified
the install.
4800 command that installs the UC profiles for the 4800. Easy change, 
just copy
the
command and rename it to xxxx3800 instead of xxxx4800, run it and 
voila! The
profiles
are there.
I've tested Hahnemuhle and Epson papers, and it works like a true 
charm!. The
output
stands a test against both an R800 and R1800 with Piezo NK7 inks!!! 
The added
bonus are
the sepia/warm/cool settings that indeed work. Of course, when you 
print 17x22,
the
printer reallly compares against chemical lambda prints from BWC!!! 
Actually
they kind of
hold more detail.
The feature to mix profiles/curves for different aspect is indeed 
cool.
I am looking forward to professionally produced curves/profiles, but 
definitely
the 3800 is
the way to go. It outperforms the 4800/9800 by a comfortable margin,
quality-wise.

Thanks for the help. I can't find the install 4800 command"" in the 
QTR directory. Is it some where hidden?

I finally downloaded the new update.  I am having the same problem.  
I have no idea where the install command is.  Also, there isn't even 
a folder for 3800 profiles.  I guess you just make a new one.  By the 
way, I am on a PC.  I don't even know if the instructions I printed 
are for PC or mac.

Maybe someone else can help.
