If you use Genuine Fractals, you can really shrink those files up a lot.

Hi Rem,

It's a bit of personal preference as far as I can see however . .
Unless it's just massive, I keep the image in RGB (even though it 
B&W) until I'm about to print then I make a duplicate and convert to 
20% Dot Gain (save with a unique name) and print that copy using QTR.

That way I have both files to play with.
