Sanity check & need to update

2006-09-23 by Clarence Walker

In spending the past several months in the launch of a downtown
gallery/boutique and the associated web store at millenia3dotnet it has been
a while since tending to my first love. FINALLY, I will be spending the next
week exclusively in printing some black and white works.

For paper I will be using Moab's Entrada fine art natural, 300 gsm, 8.5X11
on an Epson R200 with Quad tone Inks and Photoshop. My QTR is 2.4.1 . 

Have there been upgrades or recent developments, files, profiles, etc. that
would justify a new version of QTR that would have benefits for the R200,
Entrada, 81/2 X 11 combination? 

Last I recall, the QTR only handles 8X10...hopefully I am wrong. How best to
handle the image centering on the 8 1/2 by 11 paper? Any new profile
developments for the paper or printer that would work with the existing
2.4.1. ?  I would REALLY prefer not to have to cut every print.

Sad to say, it's been about six months since I used the QTR simply due to
other photo and business requirements. Any "best" profile or suggestions for
straight forward B&W for good overall, uniform tones and all shades of grays
that I should/could readily download?
