Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the tip, Sarah.  I'll give it a try later today or tomorrow.  Is there a 
simple way of increasing the density, contrast etc. in QTR? 

I notice there are "Expert" setting options, but I don't know when or how to 
access them.  I'd like to know how to make these easier (?) adjustments 
before getting into what looks like a serious learning curve to produce profiles 
and use non-Epson inks.  

I see there is a QTRGui for Windows.  Is there anything like that for Mac?  QTR 
seems to be really useful software, but it's a little confusing for the new-comer.  
I've worked in a darkroom for ages, but I'm not that familiar with inks and 
printing theory.  A friendly interface would help QTR a lot.  Do you have any 
experience with IJC/OPM?  Their site claims a faster way to reach the first 
print and seems to be suggesting a slicker interface.  They don't offer a free 
trial as far as I can see.
