Ink Mismatch - Quick Curve - P900 #problems


 

I'm stymied with this one.
I created a cyanotype curve using QCDN using?
Saved it with the name Cyanotype-Starter.quad
Pasted it into the P700-900-UC folder
Ran the install InstallP900.command

I get this error in the terminal

"Inks mismatch: PPD has K,C,M,Y,LC,LM,LK,LLK,V,MK and Quad has K,C,M,Y,LC,LM,LK,LLK"

Looks like the ppd is looking for 10 inks and the quad file has 8? Missing the V and MK.

I'm running QCDN 2.1.2 and QTR 2.8.2.



Any help would be appreciated.


?


 

Solved. The download that came with the original sign-up is for 2.1.2. In the program i checked for updates and there was a fix for this in version 2.3. I downloaded that and it worked fine.


 

Hi!
I’m the same curiosity. The P700 has the MK which is a magnificent UV-Blocker but it’s not used in the QCDN curves.


 

I wrote a script for my own needs that made up a MK curve from the PK values in a .quad file. In my case, I wanted the MK to act as a "boost" for the PK at the denser end of the range (dense negative, that is), so I made it ramp from 0% of the PK at 0, linearly to 20% of the PK at 256 (the dense end of the curve).
If you can read Unix Shell and awk, you? are free to use the following. (You'd paste the following into a file, let's call it PKTOMK.sh, mark it executable via chmod +x PKTOMK.sh, and then run it on your favorite quad file via PKTOMK.sh myfavorite.quad? where it will produce myfavorite.quad.edit.? You then have to rename the resulting file and install it in the usual way.)

#!/bin/sh
if test $# -lt 1; then ?echo Usage: $0 inputfile [pk multiplier]; exit 1; fi
MULT=${2-"0.2"}
sed '/MK Curve/,$d' $1 > $1.edit
awk 'BEGIN { process=0; mult='$MULT'; i=0}
/# K Curve/ { process=1; print "# MK Curve"; next}
/# C Curve/ {exit 0}
/^[0-9]/ {if (process == 1) {$1=$1*(mult*i)/255.0; i=i+1; print;}}' $1 >> $1.edit
