Re: QTR: Great Tool ... no casts, But

That's the theory, but in practice you can print from monochrome RGB
files.  That's what all of us who were using Qimage were doing (up
until the gray-lab profiles came out, which we can't use in Qimage). 
It works.  Qimage at the moment only outputs RGB when you print to
file.
