Although QuadtoneRIP has no dollar costs, it APPEARS to me, based
on the myriad postings here about how to install it, that it involves
a significant cost in terms of effort and frustration to get it
going.  For example, you must download and install two additional
software packages in addition to QTR itself.

I'm not trying to dis the author or the software.  It's a wonderful
service he's provided by making this free software available and
he also seems to provide free support in trying to get it installed.

I'm just suggesting that you may be happier by some other solution,
such as the free driver called OPM (www.bowhaus.com/inkjetcontrol).
I got this up and running with VERY little effort and it gives
great results.  

But based on the huge enthusiasm for Quadtone RIP that I see in this
forum, I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and try to install
it as well.  But I'm glad I started with OPM.
