QTR-Quadtone RIP

Charlie,

It is interesting to read about your experience with k7 after Jon 
Cone's statements about how much more advanced are his curves. It is 
not the first careful negative response on k7 about DMax that I see. 
Is it about using k7 with QTR or in their environment? I am trying 
to understand how much of Cone's declarations is just a plain 
commercial bluff. After all he should be quite aggressive to sell 
his inks that are more than twice more expensive than MIS inks are.
