Digital BW, The Print

I have just started to use  Quadtone RIP on my 1160  with MIS FS 
inks.......It works  pretty well.

Has anyone come up with a decent profile for  Epson Enhanced  Matte 
paper yet?   I am getting a little too much ink in the darker areas.  I 
have not had time to use the profiling  software included but it looks 
like it will work.   There is probably a combination of the two 
"sample" profiles provided that will do the trick.

I am also planning on using the John Wolfe Workflow solution with  the 
Quadtone  RIP and see if I can combine the two.  That might seem a 
little redundant but I can't take the time right now to come up with a 
profile.

The Quadtone Rip and also  Gimp for  color printing seems to solve a 
lot of the problems encountered when switching to OSX.

If you are like me and had every thing "hitting on all cylinders"  in 
system 9 but were frustrated with all  the roadblocks in system 10 and 
just went back to working in 9,   fear not,  the day is coming when OSX 
will work as well.  I know that some  of you  are already doing that 
after investing time and money on new solutions.

But for those of us who need to make prints without learning new work 
flows every few months this period has been  rough and tumble.

I look forward to the coming months when easier and less costly 
solutions appear.
