Digital BW, The Print

Many thanks to Paul, Clayton, and Joe on all the advice for 
selecting a printer. Unfortunately, I couldn't spring for a 2400, 
and I wanted to be able to go large format, so I opted for pain and 
got a 1400, which has the 6 inkset. I got QTR, and they have a 
setting for the 1400 BO. Started to print, made some curves, but I 
think some kind of education would be good. I do a lot of portraits 
and still life shots, and like the matte or satin type finishes. I 
shoot with a Hassleblad and scan with a epson flat bed. So here are 
the questions.... 

1. To get high quality shots at 13 x 19 what resolution should I be 
scanning at. My scanner can go to 9600dpi, and the files are HUGE!I 
end up with 500 and 600 mb files. I can't see much difference 
between the files when i print lower res files, say 3600dpi

2. While I am getting ok results, I am not close enough to what I 
could produce in my wet darkroom. Should I go to the quadtones to 
get that kind of result? 

3. Are there quadtone curves for the 1400? That use multiple carts?

4. I ordered a set of carts for the printer, I had no idea how much 
ink I could go through in a couple of days of goofing around. When I 
get them, I can go to other black inks, any reccomendatons?

5. Any books, or other resources that I should look at?


Thanks to all,

Scott
