QuadToneProfiler-Pro

Customize Any Ink Set

Create custom curves with up to 8 gray inks with the ability to use gray or color toner inks for an infinite range of print hues when printing through QuadToneRIP.

Use the custom curve creation interface for setting the ink limits as well as the starting and ending overlaps separately for each channel. The partitioning formulas will automatically adjust and apply an initial correction curve when setting the limits, and balance the total ink load for additional overlap of adjacent channels.

New Profile Manager Tools

The new profile manager tool allows you to create special .qtp files that include the curves and measurements for up to 4 components and blend with the new component blending tool and preview the blending color as measurements and on your image.

The behind the scenes formulas use the color of the gray inks and the toned inks to produce the output hue for each step in the grayscale. This allows for easy neutralization of the color of warm pure carbon inks using a mix of Cyan and Magenta inks or a singe Blue channel popular with those using Paul Roark's ink set recommendations. 

Updated advanced Linearization Tools

The updated linearization tools allow for linearization with either 21, 51, 86, 101, 128, 129 or 256-step measurement data files. The behind the scenes formulas will interpolate the original data into 256 steps for the actual linearization calculations.

• Built-in measurement data smoothing controls and manual error correction

• Linear or manual output curve control

• Preview the measured and corrected samples

• Preview measured and corrected output on your image

• Manually edit the output quad for additional adjustment or smoothing.

• Export linearized QuadToneRIP .quad files or Photoshop .acv curve or LUT .cube file presets.

• Export .qtpc component files to load into the Quad Blending or Profile Manager tools to quickly preview blended quads and print color

New Quad Blending Tools

The new Quad Curve Blending Tools can blend any two quad curve files. The curve blending tool can also open and save .qtpc files that contain the measurements and quad curves to preview the color of the blend. There is also an option to automatically linearize the blended curves when opening .qtpc files.

Quad Curve Remapping Tool

Easily swap or copy ink channels between to assign ink shades to different cartridge positions. This replaces the need to open a quad file in a text editor and copy and paste the 256 ink values between channels.

Spot Color Tone Value Correction

Use this to linearize the brightness and saturation of individual toning inks for ink jet prints or multi-color gravure printing

Quad Levels Editor

Easily remap a quad file to new output points to match the density scale of different processes, or for creating a base plate tone for gravure printing.

Requirements

• macOS High Sierra (10.13) through Ventura (13.x)

• A measurement device and software (i1 Pro, ColorMunki, i1 Studio, SpyderPrint, of reflective densitometer)

• QuadTone RIP to serve as the print driver for macOS

• PrintTool (on macOS) for printing the calibration images without color management and easier printing in general
