QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy,
    Thanks for the clarification. I look forward to trying the program, once I get some printer problems resolved.

I also have a minor operational question.  If I am working in PhotoShop, for instance, and printing with the QTR-Print-Tool, do I need to reopen the file in Print-Tool each time a change is saved from PhotoShop? Or will Print-Tool know to use the updated file?
