Digital BW, The Print

Hi Folks;

I'm printing on my Epson 1280 with the QuadToneRip and I like what I am 
seeing! However one thing I have noticed is that whenever I am 
outputting a print the printer pauses a lot at irregular intervals for 
no apparent reason. I have even tried closing all other applications 
other than photoshop to devote all my computer resources to printing to 
no avail.

Whenever I print with the Epson driver the printer churns right along 
with out any interruptions or hesitations.

It this a common problem with QTR or GIMP-PRINT ?

I'm running a G4/733 with 768 RAM on OS 10.2.8 ( Jaguar ). I'm making 
small prints = 8x10.

Any thoughts are very appreciated!

You need to email Roy Harrington the developer of QTR. He is 
very responsive and a helpful guy. Just go that QTR website and 
contact him through there. I could very well be that it is a 
complicaton with Jaguar. I know I couldn't wait to get away from 
that OS when printing. Panther fixed a lot of printer and scanner 
issues for me.

What kind of inks are you using? I am thinking of trying that rip 
myself. How easy is it to tone sepia and cool neutral prints. I 
guess it really helps a lot with Ultra-Chrome.

Why do you refer to this as a "problem"? Do you feel that printing with QTR is taking 
much longer than it should?
