All correct. I did ask them something about why they treat
my 6-ink printer like a 4-ink printer and I think I got
the same answer. But at that time my concern was more
about color printing than black and white so I went for
it anyway.

But is there a full RIP out there that works like QTR?
For color I think Wasatch works great if one knows how to
use it.

Out of curiosity I took a look at the PowerRIP at iproofsystems and
it looks like PowerRIP X or 2000 may fit the bill at a much lower
price.
