Digital BW, The Print

With QTR you do can do a fine job of limiting density with mono, and
does one really need that for color? I've never experienced a
limitation there with good custom profiles, but everyone has their
standards about this stuff. Now for doing giant runs with super long
print jobs, that is another story. I don't often end up with jobs
longer than 93".I know a guy though who uses Studio Print on the 9600
for super big jobs that takes many hours to rip. He has one of those
auto rollers at the end so he can just go to sleep and in the am all
this canvas work is rolled up on the machine, and he makes $. That
would be nice.
