Digital BW, The Print

Hello Keith,

Thanks for the info.  I did look into the documentation that was included with the latest QTR version.  Like you I have been considering its use but will most likely wait until I have had the chance for an more in depth understanding.  I do not like to fix something that is not broke and for me printing with the ABW yeilds very nice results especially since I have started using the MIS LK, LLK and EZW inks suggessted by Paul Roark.  I know that there any many on this website that only use RIP's for their printing but they all have much more knowledge then I do at the present...I know I will eventually get there and I am in no hurry to get involved with somehting I do not completely understand at the present.

Good luck to you as well.

Jeff

 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!
