Digital BW, The Print

I have to note that the "vendor" for QTR is Roy
Harrington and he gives it away for free. Also IJC/OPM
is close to a system 10 release from what I hear. And
hey curves still work, I have been getting stellar
results with Paul Roark's curves with UT inks and
Photo Rag on my old 1200.
Right On
