Re: [Digital BW] Quadtone Rip Dummies guide?

Carl, 
Thanks for the info. I seem to have figured out how to install the curves. I have them 
now available in the print options. I can get the RIP to print if I don't use the curves, if 
I attempt to select one then the print just hangs. I might have installed some other 
file by mistake. Maybe I should start over!
