Digital BW, The Print

There's a new version now available.  Both the Mac OS X version and the
Linux source code are included.

See:  http://harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html

The lastest download has a few enhancements.  

1) The major addition is an automated Linearization capability.  This requires a 
densitometer or the Eye-One spectro-photometer. With this feature once partitioning 
of gray inks is done, by simply measuring densities and entering them into the 
descriptor file a correction curve is generated to achieve the ideally spaced stepwedge 
i.e. one that is optimized for equal visual separation throught the range.

2) The ink droplet size for 4 picoliter printers using 1440x720 resolution has been 
increased.  Several of the most popular printers fall into this category --  the 1160, 
the 1270, and the 1280.  This means that the potential dMax for these printers is has 
been increased when printing at 1440x720.

3) Quite a bit of tuning has been done for the 2200 printer. Both the internals have 
been tweaked for greater smoothness and Carl has created all new curves for several 
papers.

 4) The Run-Install-Curves script is now automatically run whenever you create a 
curve using Run-Quad-Profile.  Also a password is no longer needed for this.

Just in case there is a flurry of questions, unfortunately I will be away 
for much of August, so I won't be able to answer emails for a while.
