Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

You're right about the confusion, but it's not you, it's definitely me that's 
confused.  I completely misunderstood the problem, and your explanation.  I 
think I'm beginning to get it.

I thought I needed two iterations of the QUAD printer, but duh, the curves take 
care of the PK/MK issue in the QUAD driver; it's the Epson driver that's the 
problem.  

I'll try the double install of the two inks and the Epson drivers later when I get 
home, and let you know how it worked.  

Thanks for your patience.

peter
