QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Mike,
I replied to your message earlier today but I don´t see my answer appear. Guess I did something wrong :o)

I´m using windows 7 64bit, and the default epsons inks.
For my photography study I need to be able to print b&w on semigloss,gloss, and matte papers (not necessarily epson).

The strange thing is that I have printed b&w on this printer before, but now I only seem to get all kinds of color casts.
I´m hoping to use qtr to solve this problem at last.

hope you can help!

kind regards,
Marja
