QTR-Quadtone RIP

The best reference for QTR on Windows that I'm aware of is Tom Moore's 
paper at http://www.quadtonerip.com/User%20Guide.pdf even if it is a few 
years old. The current version of QTR and Windows 7 64 bit still work 
the same way - thats what I use. (I asked because there are other 
problems with newer versions of MacOs and Photoshop.) If you are looking 
at instructions written for the Mac you'll get hopelessly confused as 
the printing mechanism is totally different.

The biggest problem may be getting the Gloss Optimiser in use for gloss 
papers - I've no idea how you'd do this, as I've never had a printer 
that uses a GO.

I suggest you read through Tom's paper, and try to follow through to 
printing on a matte paper from that, and ask if you have specific 
questions from that. Extending that to printing on a semi gloss or gloss 
paper will be harder, and need help from someone who's done it -  there 
are two issues you'll need to deal with - getting GO used, and also 
adjusting the amount of colour ink(s) to to be added in.

Most QTR users are using the printers with multiple black inks and/or 
using specialist monochrome inksets
