QTR-Quadtone RIP

How does one delete specific curves that he has added to the qtr Mac
driver?

Okay, here's a couple of oldbie/newbie questions

Basically, for a number of reasons, I haven't used QTR for so long it's 
all changed...!

So:

1. You don't necessarily need to use three curves - you can just use 
say 2? (as well, is there much need to fiddle with the Split Tone Curve 
Blending if you are just aiming for a slightly warm above neutral print 
for example? or just unchecked it and leave the 
highlight/midtone/shadow sliders linked?)

2. Do you still need to apply the QTR matte/glossy profiles in photo 
shop etc? Or do we just use straight gamma 2.2 files now? (couldn't see 
anything in the existing documentation?)

so yep - it's been a while....

Hello All,

I have an old Quadtone ink 3000 set-up in another room that I slowly
progressing on.

I tried a print tweaked with BWorks Heavy Sky filter.

Some of the tones are reversed. Specifically, like the black didn't print.

The epson driver printed it OK.

Do I have to watch for something like (I dunno) dynamic range when run an
image through Quadtone RIP?

The image was digital sRGB capture and it looks to be a 256 color RGB now.
Did this filter mess-up the colorspace or did I just give Quadtone a
defective image??

Any feedback would be useful.

In CurveDesign folder find the alias "CurveDropBox"...double click on that and the curves will 
be in their respective printer folder.

You can use 1, 2 or 3 curves.   If you don't want split-tone just 
on-click it
so all 3 sliders move together.  I'd start this way anyway -- just 
modify
when you see a real need.

Yes, still apply the QTR Matte/Photo profiles for best match.
