QTR-Quadtone RIP

Lee,
The folks at Ink Jet Solutions (where I buy my Moab Entrada) make a
BIG deal about how the Kayenta paper can be used as a proofing paper
for the more expensive Entrada. They point out that it has the very
same multilayered surface as the Entrada. So, you should get excellent
results using the Entrada curves with the Kayenta.

On a related note, when I started using the new NK7 inks from Jon
Cone, I asked Roy if he was going to have NK7 curves for the Entrada.
His reply was that the Entrada should work very nicely using the Epson
Watercolor Radiant White NK7 curves.
