RE: [Digital BW] QuadTone RIP - GUI - Problem with Automated Printing (Monitor Folder)

2005-11-28 by Stephen Billard

I am unable to reproduce the problem you describe on the current version of
QTRgui. The current version is 2.3.13. Please update to this version and see if
the problem still exists.
