Digital BW, The Print

I havn't tried QTR yet, but it is something I have been considering 
for a while. Have you looked into the documentation at:
http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRdownload.html
This page has tutorials for both Mac and PC. I started to look into 
RIP's last spring and found the cost beyond my pocket book. QTR 
sounds like it is very well received and has a very good track 
record. When was the last time you updated it(updates are free)? 
There is also a Yahoo site you should check out!
Good luck!
