Re: still trying to install QuadTone RIP

2003-11-20 by bruce greene

I think that one  needs to print from an OSX application to access the 
OSX printers like QTR.

By the way, I've just started using QTR a couple days ago.

While I found the enclosed instructions somewhat hard to decipher, I 
now think I've got it down.
And the prints are the best inkjet B&W I've ever made. Much better 
smoothness and tonal scale than the old piezo plug-in on my 1160 using 
MIS FS inks.

And even without a densitometer, I can make curves myself for any 
paper. (I practiced on plain paper). And they are better on my printer 
than the Piezo plug-in ever was.
If I had a densitometer, they'd be spot on every time I think.

Thanks Roy for all your work on this software. It's a great solution.

Perhaps we could post to the archives a more user friendly, step by 
step, instruction manual for QTR.
I might give it a go when I get more familiar with the process.
