Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ernst,

I've taken cursory looks at the 4.3 version as it's evolved.   It's quite a bit
larger product now.  There are many new features, but my take is that
they are mostly for areas that wouldn't benefit QTR.  QTR uses just the raw
printing level.  So my inclination is to just stay with the existing system.
