Hi Mitch,

This is what I'm now doing with my 7500:
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4K+.pdf  and what I'd recommend for the
7000 as well.  The approach works fine with QTR.


>... told that a Harrington Quad tone RIP is a good system ...

Yes, it and the Bowhaus IJC/OPM are the 2 most affordable B&W RIPs (raster
image processors -- third party programs that allow you to control each jet
independently).

I have several example workflows listed at the top of my general B&W index
page at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/  See the "Workflow Notes" section.

Note that you can learn QTR on the 2400.  So, you can use basically the same
workflow on multiple printers.

Enjoy,

Paul
