Re: [QuadtoneRIP] basics for a beginner (dummy?)

Hi Marja,
Are you using a Windows PC or Macintosh - it makes a big difference! 
(also which version of the operating system).
Also are you using the usual Epson inks in the printer?

having had a quick look at the QTR control file for the R1800, its 
really intended for matte papers - do you have any Epson Enhanced Matte 
(or similar) to test it on?
