QTR-Quadtone RIP

wwodets,

I am looking to do exactly what you are describing below, so I went 
to the files section of the DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint group. I 
found the QTR folder, but there is no Eye One folder underneath. Do 
you, or anyone else for that matter, have this information or know of 
another place I can find it one the Net or in a Yahoo Group?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks to everyone for the 
wealth of knowledge I am only beggining to go through now.

Steve
