I'm at a loss. I've been printing for several years without issue using QuadTone RIP and Inkjet Mall Piezography inks on an Epson 3800. Now the printer will load the paper & begin printing, but the passes are extremely slow -- ~ 30 seconds & it sounds like it's printing but not laying down ink. If I send the test print via PS, the printer works normally. The print looks bad because it's set up for piezography but the tones are there. I've tried a different curves selection, uninstalling & reinstalling QuadTone & submitting a different file to be printed, but nothing works. Any idea why QTR would suddenly start behaving this way while the printer seems to function normally otherwise?

I have been using QTR-Create-ICC-RGB.exe to create icc profiles for soft proofing from CGATS files. It works just fine, but I'm looking for a free alternative. From the little I know about Argyllcms, it seems like argyll should be able to do this. If so, can anyone tell me how? Or at least where to start looking?

Hi all. I use an Epson 3880 to print digital negatives with using QCDN/QTR/PrintTool. I can print just fine if I choose the Epson 3880 printer in the print settings. But out of the blue for some reason now I can't print using Quad3880-QCDN. The printer just spits out the paper or transparency without printing. Tried both sheet feeder and manual front load. Again works fine if I choose Epson 3880 as the printer, but this doesn't allow me to choose the curve I made using QCDN. Anyone else have this issue or have a suggestion? I am using Mac OS Ventura. QCDN 2. Print tool 2. Just installed the current QTR version. TIA!

I ran across this notice on the gutenprint forum, and I wonder what that means for the future of QTR on the Mac platform? We already get the notice about drivers being deprecated in future versions of the Mac OS whenever a new printing profile is installed. I'm curious how people are preparing for this potential loss of support on future Epson printers and Mac hardware. Does it make sense to keep a low-cost mac mini or the like around with a frozen-in-time version of Mac OS that can serve as a print server?

I have a linearized quad curve using the DN Pro program, Boost is near 100, how can I increase the ink load of density of the Fixxons neg without using any Magenta or Yellow ?? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded several printing profiles for photopolymer plates, and they are in the .qidf format. Typically, the files I use for curve linearization are either .quad or .txt, but I'm not familiar with how to work with .qidf files in QTR. Does anyone know how to use these .qidf files in QTR or how to convert them to .quad or .txt? I haven't found any information on this so far. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everyone! How can I linearize with the spyder print spectrophotometer? I use QuadToneProfiler-Pro-DN by Richard Boutwell. Thanks for your help! Enrico

Hello, I have just started working with DTP and hope to resolve all the issues as soon as possible. One of the issues I have just been confronted with was the media feeding fault. I started to print 3 days ago, and everything was going well; the plates were printed, and I could develop them. Yesterday, the plates began to get a scratch in the middle, so I thought I just didn’t fix it properly. Today, I wanted to print the plate, and I made sure it was flat in the tray, but when I started, the meadow got stuck. The printer hasn’t come back to normal after removing the plate. Now, I will need to replace it, but why could that have happened? What did I do wrong? And how can I avoid it happening in the future? Thank you. Maria

I may have solved this. Here goes. I opened the grayscale Mesure Tool file in LibreCalc. Deleted all columns but the step, Lab, A, and B columns, sorted ascending on the step column. Saved as txt.csv file with tab as the delimiter and then dropped this on the linearize tool. Up popped a linearized data version of the file. Oh wonder of wonders. So this file looks like: QTR-Linearize-Data version 2.8.0.0 File: G:\Documents\QTR\iProfiler Results\Untitled 1-out.txt Step Dens Lab A B 0.00 0.193 84.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 1.19 0.206 83.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 2.38 0.220 82.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 3.57 0.233 81.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 4.76 0.247 80.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 5.95 0.260 79.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 7.14 0.274 78.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 8.33 0.288 77.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 9.52 0.302 76.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 10.71 0.316 75.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 11.90 0.331 74.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 13.10 0.345 73.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 14.29 0.360 72.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 15.48 0.375 71.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 16.67 0.390 70.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 17.86 0.405 69.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 19.05 0.421 68.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 20.24 0.436 67.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 21.43 0.452 66.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 22.62 0.468 65.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 23.81 0.484 64.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 25.00 0.500 63.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 26.19 0.517 62.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 27.38 0.534 61.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 28.57 0.551 60.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 29.76 0.568 59.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 30.95 0.586 58.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 32.14 0.603 57.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 33.33 0.621 56.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 34.52 0.640 55.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 35.71 0.658 54.00 0.00 0.00 - b L + 36.90 0.677 53.00 0.00 0.00 - bL + 38.10 0.696 52.00 0.00 0.00 - bL + 39.29 0.715 51.00 0.00 0.00 - b + 40.48 0.735 50.00 0.00 0.00 - b + 41.67 0.755 49.00 0.00 0.00 - Lb + 42.86 0.775 48.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 44.05 0.795 47.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 45.24 0.816 46.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 46.43 0.837 45.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 47.62 0.859 44.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 48.81 0.881 43.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 50.00 0.903 42.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 51.19 0.926 41.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 52.38 0.949 40.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 53.57 0.972 39.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 54.76 0.996 38.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 55.95 1.021 37.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 57.14 1.045 36.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 58.33 1.071 35.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 59.52 1.096 34.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 60.71 1.123 33.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 61.90 1.150 32.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 63.10 1.177 31.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 64.29 1.205 30.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 65.48 1.234 29.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 66.67 1.263 28.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 67.86 1.293 27.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 69.05 1.324 26.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 70.24 1.355 25.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 71.43 1.387 24.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 72.62 1.420 23.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 73.81 1.454 22.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 75.00 1.489 21.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 76.19 1.524 20.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 77.38 1.561 19.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 78.57 1.599 18.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 79.76 1.638 17.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 80.95 1.678 16.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 82.14 1.719 15.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 83.33 1.762 14.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 84.52 1.806 13.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 85.71 1.852 12.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 86.90 1.899 11.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 88.10 1.948 10.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 89.29 2.000 9.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 90.48 2.053 8.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 91.67 2.111 7.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 92.86 2.178 6.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 94.05 2.257 5.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 95.24 2.354 4.00 0.00 0.00 - L b + 96.43 2.479 3.00 0.00 0.00 -L b + 97.62 2.655 2.00 0.00 0.00 -L b + 98.81 2.956 1.00 0.00 0.00 L b + 100.00 4.000 0.00 0.00 0.00 L b + LINEARIZE="84 83 82 81 80 79 78 77 76 75 74 73 72 71 70 69 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0" For Digital Negative: LINEARIZE="0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84" I hope this is where I am supposed to be at th

Hi all. After looking at the messages with a similar issue I have still not solved this problem. I am printing using QTR on an Epson 3800 with ultrachrome inks (3rd party). Using a Windows 10 pc. I have an Eye One pro early model and am using the Measure tool from the ProfileMaker suite. I am trying to profile an InkPress Matt 60 paper. I am faithfully following the steps in the pdf file on how to do this. Using the ATR-21-4-random.txt file.

For the past few weeks, when I've been outputting negatives using QTR (and PiezoProDN), my images have not been flipping horizontally as directed by the software. It's 100% random, no settings are changing when this occurs, and it happens maybe 10-15% of the time. Is anyone else seeing this or having this issue? It's wasting a heck of a lot of material...

The p900 Epson printer has been printing all week, now switch to Quad tone for Fixxons and the printer is offline, nothing I have Googled seems to cure the issue....thoughts ?? Steve Sherman

In light of my continuing issues with printing through QTR I tried to download an older version to see if that resolves the problem. But, when I select version 2.8.0 and download the file says it cannot be moved because it is still downloading. This message does not go away. Anybody have any idea what is going on?

Thanks to some help on another forum I resolved my printer connection issue yesterday. I was able to print fine for the rest of the day but then today a new issue cropped up. I tried to print using Print Tool and when I select the print command the printer feeds the material and then just runs it all the way through with no image. This is Mac OS 14 and a P800 printer. This is a new issue to me and my searches here do not come up with a result. I have tried reloading Print Tool, rebooting the Mac and the printer, trying different material (paper). Any ideas?
