Digital BW, The Print

Just purchased an Epson 4000.  Besides Image Print, are there any other 
options to use to obtain castfree B&W  printed images?

Thanks

Hi Myron,

QTR is heavily supported in this forum and will give you the results 
you want with the 4000 and UltraChromes. You can download it from:

http://harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html

There is also a QTR Yahoo forum at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/

It produces excellent results and is shareware -- try before you buy 
and the price is only $50 which is a far less than its value!

Also IJC/OPM has 4000 support -- costs a bit more but the UI is a bit 
more developed for profiling. It's $250 and you can read more at:

IP is an acceptable solution for basic B&W output from the
Ultrachrome ink set -- however, it is a "closed system" to the user 
and won't grow with you as your expertise increases because you are 
locked into the IP profiles that you can't really modify to your 
environment. Plus, it's pretty expensive for what you get.

Try QTR because you can download it, install it and be up and running 
today -- or this evening ;>) That way you don't get too caught up in 
all the choices out there, can get started printing instead of 
pondering and may very well find QTR to be your long term solution!

Enjoy!

Richard
