QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm on a PC myself, but I believe most people use "Parallels" (a virtual machine software), but I suppose VirtualBox or something else like it would work as well. I find the GUI useful for curve editing (and graphing)...the GUI creates both the QUAD and QIDF files. You would probably want to print through the Mac native QTR. A little round-about, but I prefer the visual interface for curve editing.

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.
