Digital BW, The Print

No, for the Ultrachrome set up it is not difficult at all. Just download the gimp print driver 
accessable there, download the qtr, and click on the install curves folder for Ultrachrome 
2200. It will self load. Then restart the computer and add the printer into the OS ( it is 
quite easy in OSX) and choose this driver to print out of instead of the standard Epson 
driver. It will not effect your ability to access the Epson driver for color etc. The driver will 
be called Quad Tone 2200 or something like that. Just follow the directions in the proper 
sequence and you will be fine. Ignore all the information about custom linearizing your 
printer. You do not need to do that with the newer Epson Ultrachrome machines. There is 
more information in that packet than you need concern yourself with.
