For the most part all of you are right.
On Windows there is just one product -- QTR -- B&W printing from QTRgui layout tothe Epson printer. It's all one piece and can't be separated. There is No Color Mngt at all.There is an issue about maintaining the QTRgui frontend -- I didn't write it so I have noway to change anything. It works with no trouble on Windows XP & 7 as far as I know.It fully supports all the 8 ink printers. Its the 10 ink printers that have limited support.Printing works fine with them, but Curve Creation can't access the other 2 inks. If youget 10 ink curves from someone else, the printing works just fine with all 10 inks.The driver internals and actually the Curve create internals have all 10 inks. If you editthe .qidf with NotePad and drop them onto quadprofile.exe you can create 10 ink curvesbut yes its different and a bit more hassle. I'm trying to figure out a way to continueto fully maintain a product on Windows but so far its not clear how to accomplish this.The virtualization idea is a good idea, in fact that's how I've done a lot of the Windowswork for years on my Mac.
