I think you will have a lot of fun with it.

I have banding problems with it - - worse than Piezo driver
but I (still) have a paper feed problem with my 3000 - - so not a good
example.

Tyler Boley is the quad PressReady expert in the USA
as far as I know. ;-)

I would be happy to copy the manual for you.
Not much to it really.

Let me know if you buy the ebay copy
and I will send you the essential pages.

A couple of notes:
Installs fine to MAC, win98 and win 2000.
Will not easily install to WinNT.

Depending on when the disk was issued
there is a dither upgrade at the Adobe site
which helps a lot.

I use PR daily for color "proofs" and for
simple SWOP matching on 3000 its more than adequate.


Thanks
Bob
