Digital BW, The Print

Tom,  Do not panic.  There are fewer people on the list over the 
weekends.  I'm sure Paul will respond at some point.  But, if you get 
QTR you'll find it very user friendly.  I, too, have a 1280 using the 
UT2 inkset which I will eventually convert to the EB6 inkset down the 
road.  Right now I'm using QTR with the 1280 carbon profile as it 
comes from QTR.  The best thing is that Photoshop is not needed.  The 
image editor you use need only be capable of saving your file or a 
copy of your file as an 8-bit, grayscale, TIF file.  It handles the 
rest itself.  You can download the QTR program for evaluation first 
since it's shareware.  Purchasing it gets you unlimited upgrades and 
support.  

Good Luck...Mike
