Digital BW, The Print

Peter,

I am on a Windows machine and don't know the Mac interface at all.  
And I have never used PFA.  It would probably be best to let an 
experienced Mac user help you so I don't lead you astray.  

Carl Schoefield wrote a nice mini-tutorial and posted it in the Files 
Section of the Yahoo QuadToneRip forum.  That would be a great start 
and I believe it is aimed at Mac users.
