Digital BW, The Print

Gimp is more or less the equivalent of Photoshop or the like. It is
gimp-print, a different program, and cups that determines how an image is
printed. I would think it is the gimp-print settings/curves that you are
going to have to tweak.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: QuadToneRIP with Epson 9600 troubles


  FYI: I am currently running GIMP 4.2.5 as per QTR recommendations - should
I be
  considering GIMP 4.3.18? Could the darkness I am experiencing with QTR on
the
  9600 be attributed to GIMP?
