QTR-Quadtone RIP

Paul,
No computer expert myself, but when QTR is installed on a MAC, the printing interface is in Photoshop. The curves, which are called .quad files, are built from a text file which one manually enters the ink density, limits, etc. Also, you have to manually provide a path to the gray curve used to linearize the midtones. QRT provides tool to show the a graph of the ink and generate a quad file from the text file. It's not too bad. Printing while in Photoshop is a nice feature.
