It is for b&w only It is just an addendum to GIMP-PRINT which is an open source unix print driver. For color one can use GIMP-PRINT or the Epson driver to drive the 2200. QTR uses oem inks to get closer to metamerism free and/or neutral prints by limiting some of colors used to simulate greys. QTR's strength is that one can control how each ink jet prints its ink, so for a very warm print, for example, QTR shuts off all colors except black and light black. For a very cool print it can use everything but yellow, actually you can tweek it to make do sorta whatever you want. The only problem with QTR and OEM ink is that there will be highlight dots on certain images. But if one substitues another shade of grey or two for let's say cyan and magenta, smoother tones can be acheived. In any case QTR does allow the possibility of printing metamerism free B&W prints with a full color inkset. It and Open Print Maker are the cheapest way for Mac users to get decent B&W out of the 2200 color inkset. je --- johngeyles <jge@...> wrote: > > > Fortunately, I have a Mac with OS X and QT RIP was > the answer for my > > Epson 2200 B&W and Color printing. > > I'm VERY confused.
