Re: [Digital BW] Quadtone RIP for Windows

It isn't completely self-installing, you have to do a bit of setup of
the loopback adaptor, if you don't already have a network, and in
operation it is equally simple - drag & drop your QTR-prepared file
onto the printer file in Windows Explorer, just like regular file
handling or directly from the Open File menu in Photoshop or whatever
it is that you use to open image files.

The program installs like any simple file and installs over any
existing version when you upgrade. The GUI is a separate program that
installs quite simply, too, so I'd be willing to bet that they both
uninstall equally cleanly.

I've re-installed and upgraded both in XP without uninstalling the
earlier ones, too.

One caution for all QTR users - I've found some erratic handling of
non-alphanumeric symbols in the file names. Two of my files with an
"&" in the file names printed at one time, then stopped until I
renamed them without the &..
