Hi Steve and anyone else interested in gimp-print,

This isn't Linux but it ought to work on any system using
cups and gimp-print.  It requires at least a little knowledge
of using a Unix shell to set it up otherwise its quite simple.

I finally got around to investigating some of my ideas about 
quadtone 
printing with gimp-print OS X.  I think I come up with just about 
the 
easiest solution that works with very little effort.  You get 
complete 
control of the four CMYK inks and have no extra workflow.

I've packaged it all up with a ReadMe that explains the details.

Hope I've explained in well enough.  The Curves need work but I 
figured
most people would have different printers and different inks.
