Re: Gimp and quadtone printing

2002-10-28 by Charles Bandes

I am just finishing my first gimprint hextone. 

I printed from a file with no curves applied, using the standard gimp
settings but with "quadtone" enabled.

My printer is a 1280 using VM inkset. 

The print is better than I expected, but definitely not good enough
for prime-time (the blue toner appears in odd places, mostly.) I have
a feeling though that with some tuning this could be a wonderous
development for those of us using macs or other CUPS-enabled systems.
